Howdy. New to the world of trikes. (Rode dirtbikes for years though)
Got a 125 m. I know, I know, it's a really big bad machine I've got here:cool:
Anyway, I wanted to know if there's a way to determine if the front forks are bent without dismantling the whole front end?
I tried to hold a 2 foot straight edge against each side from the stem tube down to the axel bolt/nut, but they don't look like they're straight. Although both sides seem to have thye same anmount of bend.
Are these forks supposed to be straight? Or do they have a little bit of bend to them?
What tipped me off to the possible bend is that the front tire looks like it's crowded a bit towards the back side of the front fender.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
