Steering.
#1
ok i have my bike down for awhile after a crash. my bike rolled now my steering is bent.

My forks are twisted lightly. whats weird is they dont look bent in any direction. anyone have any ideas or is it just new forks??? the bars will go straight but the tire angles. its like one fork is straight up and the other is on another axis.

Did u try to loosen the lower triple and just turn it in the right way? while holding the tire locked between ur legs or somethin solid?

If u didn't loosen it there's no way u'll get it straight.
Don't loosen it all the way, just enough so u can move it.

what Tig said!! also helps to put your bike on a front stand so you can loosen everything (wheel-axle, upper and lower tripples) you probably gonna hear a click when you loosen this, tighten it up again and voila!

tig pretty much said what needed to be said i would loosely install the top triple and twist it back to straight ..

You bent your bottom triple, replace it. Or you can try to straighten it, but Id just replace it with a straight one...As its usually pretty impossible to get them back 100% straight
