Default speed wobbles

i've had my 03 volusia 800 for a year and half or so.
i've put close to 20,000 on it(40,000 total). my friend gave me the bike after he crashed it.
visually it looks fine, a dent in the left side of the tank and i cut off half the front fender, but other than that it looks fine
at high speeds in a hard turn it will sometimes get speed wobbles. i don't know if it was always like that but i don't remember exactly when it started. it always seemed to pull a little to the left. what do i do to diagnose what the he is wrong.
