Still not straight

Okay so the new forks were straight. And I put the lower triple tree that came with the forks because mine was bent.

But after loosening and aligning and tightening it all back up many many times something is still bent. I followed the directions...http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/I_need_...nd_front_wheel So I did it right. But I determined either the new used lower triple tree is slightly bent or the top of the triple got bent in the crash.

Is it common for the top of the triple were the handle bars mount to get bent in a crash?

The right fork (brake caliper side) has normal rake but the left side seems to have less rake. And yes I measured the top when installing so they are in the triple tree the exact same way.


I am thinking of just getting a used complete triple tree in hopes that it is straight. And it fixes my alignment issues.

Any ideas folks?
