Forks

I noticed today that my front fork (left side) is SLIGHTLY bent. I mean it took me a straightedge to tell the difference because I thought I had been seeing things, but it is bent just a wee little bit. Will this cause me problems? Are there aftermarket forks that I can buy/install? Thanks!

Thumbs up Re: Forks

Ya there are a whole bunch of different brands of forks out there on the market. You can just get the chromoly lowers that are like an inch taller than stock and a lot stronger! Only for like. Take a look at these sites.

Re: Forks

But no it shouldn't really cause any effects on riding. Really depends on what kind of riding your doing. If your just foolin around then you'll be just find. No worries!!!

Re: Forks

Thanks guys! I won't be getting chromoly lowers until I start practicing stoppies. I love doing wheelies for now. I have had it for 4 days and I can do a 20 yard wheelie, damn I love this bike!

Re: Forks

also to tweak it
you can use an old fork tube
i ran mine into the wall wide open 3rd gear into a steal beam
bent the forks into the head
pulled the wheel off bent em back and made the second heat
just an idea you can get an old fork tube at any shop
