      I bought a 700 nighthawk shaft drive once that had a bent fork and had a local bike shop straighten it for like 70$. 24 hours later it was back on the bike and i was riding with no trouble at all speeds.

        Well the good and the bad.

        The fork tubes are here but they are a bit different (1/4" shorter) per vs post, but I think I'll give it a try until I can get a proper set. I think the only drawback is the spring will be preloaded a little but some like that anyway.

        The bad is that the bottom tree does look a bit tweeked. If you slide a straight tube up the side that had bent the tube, it doesn't quite line up with the top tree. I guess I'm getting into that now. Anyone have a set laying around cheap? That GSXR swap is looking better all the time.
