Shit!!! Bent triple trees


shovelstrokeed

Recommended Posts

Just spent about 6 hours in the garage.

A couple of years ago, I got stupid and T-boned a truck going about 40 mph, him not me, I was going maybe 5.

Bent the forks, smashed the headlight, dinged a little of the body work and broke off a footpeg. Broke my hand as well.

Anyway, the bike has been sitting for a while and I got tired of looking at the poor thing. Ordered the parts from Ron Ayers. Took it apart today and installed the new fork tubes, etc. Slipped (more like fought) the new tubes up into the trees and got ready to put the front wheel on. WTF? With the bars straight ahead, the left tube is higher and more forward than the right. No way this is gonna work.

Back to Ron Ayers on Monday for a set of triples. Grrrrrr!!!

Just venting a bit. I was hoping to get it back to a roller stage today.
