Yes, but who ever does it needs to be sure they don't crinkle the tubes. Also the forks will lose a a little strength. If they are bent real bad they will lose more.

The best way to fix anything is to get a damn sledge hammer to it!!!

How bad is it bent? I fixed a fork on my 350x once. It wasnt bent all that bad but it was like new when I was done. To do it you will need a press.

1. Put the fork on a true table
2. Roll it till the bend stops it from rolling
3. Put a mark @ 3:00 or 9:00 on the tube
4. Roll it the other way till it stops
5. Put a mark opposite of the first mark.
6. Now put a mark in the middle of the two you just made.
7. Place it in the press between two steel blocks, with your middle mark @ 12:00 ( place blocks about 6-8 in from bend.
8. Use wood as not to score the wall of the tube, and press away.
9. You will have to bend it a little past where it was bent, because it will sping back just a little.
10. Take it out several times and check it by rolling it ion the table.

Good as new!
