bought a 200s fork from a parts junk yard. awesome working shocks. only one problem. fork is slighly bent. the left side is pushed back about 3/8 to half inch. with an axle in place you can definitly tell its crooked and i want to fix it or the trike will ride horribly. is there an easy way to fix this problem? the shocks are fine its the top part of the fork that is twisted. im thinking of taking both shocks off and replacing them with steel bars and using strength and a heavy weight to counter act the lifting and twist the fork back to normal. also using a little heat to make it easier. does anyone else have any ideas. im trying not to spend more money on new pieces.

I bent the forks on my YTM 225 DR so I went to the salvage yard to look for some used forks. They were able to use a hydraulic press to straighten my forks out. Good luck.
