I smashed my Speedfight up about 2 months after I got it. Unfortunately I bent the front end.

You havnt explained yourself very well in your post. I cant work out weather your wheel is slightly off to the one side. or weather its actually bent/twisted.

by this I mean, is the wheel bolt upright, And just turned to one side slightly.

Or is the camber actually off?
example, The top of the wheel is more to one side than the bottom of the wheel.

By the sounds of things you have bent something because the speedfight front end isnt adjustable. The handlebars actually bolt to the stem, And can not be twisted around. They bolt together and that is that.

Have a look on ebay, I picked up a new front end including swing arm and shock for £40.

Going back 4 years mind.

The top of the wheel is more to one side than the bottom of the wheel. its not upright its leaning to the left. the wheel is fine its not bent its just leaning to the left. the wheel is not up right but the arm looks ok is there any thing ells that can do this. iv been told theres a TORQUE ARM can that make the wheel go to one side if its bent ?

i didn't say it was funny, quite the opposite. read your posts back to your self before you post, is all you have to do, that way, you'll pick up the dodgy grammar, cool Thumbs Up

im not having much luck finding a parts book for the speed fight,
every other peugeot under the sun, but none with the same single sided swingarm type front, that yours has..
hmmm

my guess is that you have twisted the swing arm

you may have just bent the axle, as i'd imagine that would be the weakest point on the single sided system, everything else looks fairly strong,
either way, with out personally looking at it, id say you are going to have to pull it apart to see whats bent
