the forks on my grifter look bent as the wheel seams pushed back any ideas on getting them back to normal i had a bent pair of forks before om my mk2 so i removed them from the bike heated them up then put them in a vice and twated them but still bent what do you do regards gaz

There was talk on here before about bent forks. Something about shoving them in a drain and getting a scaffold pipe to lever them straight.

Don't know if this would work with yours? They may be beyond help. :?

DONT DO IT , I DID LOST AN EYE LOL.....no seriously , if you do , put them all the way down !!!!!!

you need to heat up the steerer tube until it glows red hot at the point where the bend is,,,then wack a scaffold pole over it whilts its clamed in a vice or down adrain...tehn bend it back into shape.but the metal must be red hot,,you would need a blow torch,,ideally any business that deals with ironmongery or metal or even the local car garage may be able to help...failing that buy a blow torch from halfords or b&q  and give it a bash...good luck,,its metal so it will go back into shape ok,you will prolly have to repaint the forks as the heat will probably damage the paint.

drain itis thanks

let us know how you get on,,,and good luck
