I have a slight bend in the forks, no creasing whatsoever, its barely noticeable, but is it safe to get them professionally bent back into shape? (I say them, it's the left one).

Also if anyone knows someone in the Midlands area that would be great!

*cough*cheating robbing bastards *cough*


brought an engine off them a while back for my rxs, fitted it and was promised it would work straight away, but the gearbox was faulty, they kindly said they would fix it, and to bring my old engine in incase they needed any parts, fair enough. when i got there my bike was indeed working again, but when i asked for the remainder of my old engine back so i could use the parts, they said it had already been broken up, so a little pissed off, i rode home. returned next week with a friend who needed a new clutch for his tzr, what am i standing next to when he hands the cash over, the engine out of my rxs....broken for parts my arse



rant over
