I don't know if it is the legs or the tubes yet. I saw a kit on ebay that is suppose to straighten them. I don't know it might be both. The wheel is tipped too so maybe it is. I havn't really looked at it yet and it was dark out so I really couldn't see.:twelve

Couple healthy kicks usually will fix the wheel. If your lowers are bent I'd upgrade to some chromoly pieces. Sano sells them too.

I bent mine also and just upgraded to the chromolys. I have seen the straightening kit. They will get weaker everytime you straighten them.

Re: Front Forks

You don't need to go big like sano bombshells or bbr..A great fix that i rode for a year was hd springs delron bush and +1 fork legs.. That is the perfect setup for the average back yard jumper or stunter... I loved mine and you can't beat the $ 200 or less price tag of that setup
