bent f2 fork (how bad is bad) - Stunt Discussion

hey just working on my newly aquired wrecked f2 and found the right fork has a slight bend near the bottom triple clamp. the part with the bend does not travel into the fork tube. is this still useable for a stunt bike, I would hate to pay 200 bucks for new forks. thanks

could be ok depending on how bad the bend is, but it might mess with your stoppies, and if you don't put the tube in straight it can put pressure on the calipers and cause the brakes to drag.
pm me if you need more info, i know alittle more about this if you need help.
