I bought some 954 forks on ebay for my f4i front end conversion. They didn't come with a top triple tree. Is their a way to tell if they're straight? If they are bent, will it be obvious? I am still looking for an upper triple so how can I tell until I get one?

 

You'd be able to tell if they were bent I think.

 

if they go up and down thats all u need...my f4i forks are a lil betnm and they work fine

 

hold a straight edge to em, will be easy to see

 

take your front tire off, compress each fork individually, as long as they don't get stuck and rebound, you're good

 

yeah, if they look straight and both compress and rebound good, and no leaks, then you're straight!

 

show them a picture of richard simmons....

 

haha thats a good one...

 

nice

sweet avatar! are you a Subframe duribility Research and Development Engineer???

 

thats right so for all you who were hoping to get that position, too bad, its already been filled!

 

I think even honda service manual allows couple on millimeters bend.

You can check it by putting the the fork lower leg to a vice, then turn the top around and checking does it turn straight. Then attact it from the top part and turn the bottom part around...
