Back together

[hotrod_rick1]

Just got her back together from last fall's incounter with BAMBY !  arrrgggg  Everything is good now except the fork tubes are tweeked a hair, doesnt seem to effect the handling ,that i can tell , (only off by less than 1/4 inch to the left ) I will replace them , soon . But for now its time to ride

I haven't been following your rebuild so maybe you already know it's bent but it is kind of rare for a fork tube to get bent.

Check here to find a pretty neat way to check it out:

THANKS for the link steve , Iv checked the tripple tree and as far as i can tell there straight , On the fork tube's both "right and left " there is a crease at the bottom of the tripple tree , On the right side its on the inside , the left is on the outside witch is where the 'less than 1/4 inch' to the left is comming from . I could be describing this wrong . After the wreck with the deer everything was twisted 'bad' at first i loosened the tripple tree and put the front tire agianst a utility pole and straightned the best i could to finish the 2011 season. Im debating on a fork swap in the future, so im not to concerned at this time.
