Alrighty! Thanks for all the info. I will start my ebay search now. Hopefully I can find a straight fork in decent condition for under $100 bucks.

I could buy a right side fork and just take out the top tube and replace my bent one right? They are exactly the same right? Might be a stupid question but just making sure.
