These are not the first folks to be straighten.
I believe that if the steel did not break in one direction, it won't break being bent back.

Something else to be considered:
Not sure, but the section of the fork may not be perfectly round after all that bending.
An oval shape may be hard to be sealed by a round seal and leaks may occur.
