front forks bent
« on: November 24, 2014, 04:14:39 PM »
Hey All,
Can I straighten a upper fork leg by bracing it and bending it back? Very slight bend. I just scored some 400 parts and would like to save them. One upper bent the other is fine. I could see if Woody's Wheels will do it.

Paul,  notice you have 6 Bultacos.  Have you ever posted photos of them?  I used to work in a Honda, BMW, Bultaco shop and would love to see photos of your collection...Larry
