Is it possible to straighten inner fork tubes? And how would you go about it? Pretty sure it would involve a hydraulic press and dial gauge.

Unless someone has a set of inner fork tubes for a 93 Super Rat, this may be my only option and am curious how someone in a similar situation would resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Roger

I've had good results using a hydraulic press. Just be careful and go slow to avoid flat spots. Check often with a straight edge and or spinning the tubes on a flat surface. You should be able to get the tubes fairly straight again if they are't bent too badly to begin with.

Good luck
