Came off Honda CBF 125 in snow on black ice. Tipped to the side. Luckily am ok, wing mirror broke, rear brake pedal bent my concern is the front wheel, when the handle bars are straight the wheel is off to one side. I managed to get it home, no horrid noises, or anything, brakes work fine, everything ok, just concerned if wheel thing will be expensive. does anyone have any idea, is it something easy like reallignment???
thanks

Hi

Probably twisted the forks in the yokes.Slacken off the pinch bolts on the top yoke (ones clamping the forks in place), then pull the front brake hard and compress the front suspension a fair few times. Do up the pinch bolts again and then check if it is still out of line.

You might have bent the bars as well. These are cheap and easy enough to replace.

All the best

Keith
