Backfiring and popping is more likely that when you wrecked a vacuum hose may have pulled loose under the tank. (Since you did mention the tank being hit, i's worth looking at.) Pulling the tank is all of 3 bolts and 5 minutes. Do an inspection under there to make sure that all hoses going into and coming out of the carb are securely attached and not road rashed or something funny.

Everything else you mentioned needs a once over. Are you saying that your forks and handle bars aren't lined up properly when you hold them straight? Like when you misalign your handle bars after biffing it on a bicycle?

Stand back and have someone slowly roll the bike forward in a straight line to make sure everything is lined up the way it should be, back to front.
