    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm restoring a mildly crashed 1985 sportbike (other) and after replacing the left fork tube with a brand new and known straight one (which came with the package) I find the tips of the forks to still be way out of line - the front wheels axle would be at about 35 degrees while the triple trees were straight ahead.
I've removed the right side fork and found the tube to be alittle out - not enough to see by eye but rolling it on the table shows it's bowed alittle...
I'm suspecting that the steering stem and lower fork holders may be out of line.
Anyone know how to check these?
Just for ref and clarification it is part # 682015 (120015-001) on this bikebandit microphiche http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1985-honda-motorcycle-vf1000r/o/m2742

Any help would be greatly appriciated,
JC
