Steering handlebar stops?

Slight misunderstanding of "twisting" - its not an individual fork that is twisted on its own axis.

Basically, the top and bottom yokes can become out of alignment. Think about it as both fork legs are secured in the bottom yoke but the tops aren't. If you were to sit on the bike and pull one of the tops of the forks towards you, it would force the other one away from you - but the bottom yoke would still be exactly where it was before. End result is "twisted" forks and this can be caused by a crash / off



Ah ok i get a better picture of it all now dead eye, thanks buddy!

You're welcome

By using two pipes to effectively extend the length of the forks, you can see if they are twisted as they won't be in line with each other - one will be further forward and one further back. You can then use this as a way to calibrate them back to being straight. In any case, I don't think you'll find any problem on yours as you mostly slid instead of having a hard impact like mine was - but then my forks were pretty mashed up and you'd have to be blind to not see it :P

Good luck with the rebuild dead eye, you always seem to be rebuilding a fazer.


I've got lots of bling now en-route to my fazer now, actually i got carried away, on the list so far is:-

New brake pedal
Renthal ultra lows

Replacement crankcase cover
Indicators & clip on mechanism

Yeah, I'm always up to something but that's more to do with their having always been something wrong for the past year almost...

Good luck with the rebuild noggy, she'll definately be an individual bike when you get her back on the road.
