sorry to say it..but you need to buy new forks..u cant just bend them back
when you bend aluminum..it weakens the material..thus meaning if you bent them back..the next time you come down hard..they could just snap and you could be in one hell of a pickle **** lol

 

it looks to me like it just tweaked the wheel between the forks, take it to a tree or a wall and slam the tire back the way it needs to go against it and it should go back, you might try loostening the tripple clamp bolts a little first

 

ha..i didnt even look hard at the pic.....i thought he was positive he bent the actual fork
loosen the triple and kick the **** out of it while someone holds the bars...works everytime

 

post up some more pics bud....some from the side angle and futher away

 

hows that dude

 

i really cant tell if they are bent.... it just looks like the tire is tilted to the left... or maybe im wrong.... take one from over the top of the tripple tree

 

im starting to think the tyre is just bent it came down from a bp wheelie and landed on the side of the tyre theres no marks on the forks
ill go take more pics

 

thier right dood.. forks are twisted.. happens all the time on the ttr, just loosen them and put the tire against a wall or tree and push it back over..

 

thats about the best i can do pic wise its lik 2 am and i cant sleep coz my legs giving me ****
cant seam to work out how to get a pic of the tripple its all nessled away in there???

 

yea man loosen the triples and you can do it like that to make the wheel/bars point straight..no big deal.


if the forks compress fine, theyre not bent, you'll know if you got a bent fork, they dont compress, they just sieze up

now go ride some wheelies!!

 

Yehhhhy they compress fine its just like turning a corner to go straght if ya know what i mean...
So lets make certian i got this right ive only been into bikes bout 6 months...
lossen of the forks at the tripple ... do i have to loosen them both above and below the light???... Do i loosen both sides???..
Then smack it straght with my dead blow mallet and retighten...
Is that right??

 

yes loosen them both above and below the light.. not to much though, and i wouldnt smack it w/ a hammer, just put it against the wall and turn the bars till its straight

 

hes got it right....... i stand in front of my bike.....put the wheel between my knees and twist till straight..... have a buddy tighten em while its straight......

if you really want to know if they are bent...... take em off and put a metal ruller or any other straight edge on em and see if you have a gap.... prob won't make a diff anyway if they are tweeked a little.......
mark

 

also a good method..i do that all the time w/ the ttr when i wrck it in the middle of nowhere

 

Who tought you how to take pictures??? Take a picture from near ground level pointing directly at the front T"I"RE. All of your pictures from the front are off to the side a bit... you need to take a picture that is in the dead center of the T"I"RE and post up.

 

Cheers guys its **** like this that helps stuntin grow and grow...Shes all fixed up now still a little wobble in the wheel but no biggy its ridable now
Thanks
