I would suggest you start by removing the fairing and seeing if that
has any effect on the problem.  If not, put it back on, and check the
tire balance (I'd start with the fairing because it is more likely).

What type of tire is it?  Some tread patterns can cause such things
after a certain amount of wear.

Even though you've torqued the steering head to spec you may need
to pull it apart and check the bearings.  If you do this you might
as well put in new ones (I suggest switching to tapered rollers)
since it's a bit of a job.
