Fork Straightening (oops)
Discussion
Had a bit of an off last Night. Silly slip, locked front wheel on gravel at about 15mph after baking for a tight corner. Slid down the road on the side then bumped the curb with the front wheel.
Road the bike home and it seemed ok but am a little concerned after looking at the front end that there is a slight twist in the forks.
I have a few of questions:
- Can forks be straightened?
- Is it advisable?
- Is it expensive?
- Are CBR125 indicators standard Honda fitment or bike specific?

Did a check and it looks like the front wheel is out of line by about 2 degrees but this an estimate as I did not have anything more accurate than string and my eye (stretch string out and line up with rear tyre, line up the front wheel with the string then look to see if the yoke looks square with the frame). No kinks in the metal or any obvious damage and rides ok.
Is it worth getting them checked professionally or should I just ignore it?
