Re: How bent?

I wouldn't fix them, just buy some new ones. Once they're bent and you bend them back they'll never be as strong again.

Re: How bent?

Ive heard that if they are creased, they cant and shouldnt really be fixed. If they arent creased, I think a hydrolic press should be able to fix them. Im going to try to fix my spare 900rr forks soon.

Ya, just make sure u keep the front off the ground. Also, definitly get a 12 bar if u dont have one. Might be easier to park that way than on 2 wheels.

Im probly still going to try to fix mine I think... I might as well give it a shot right? I work with a bike mechanic, so I should be able to do it for free anyways.

I rode with mine bent for like 2 months
