Anyone who can use a press 1/2 way decent could do it, what are the forks off and how bad is the bend?

Otherwise send them to F1 engineering (http://www.rapidartnz.com/Services/ForkS.htm)

Barry Lynch at Beaumont Eng over by Wigram will tell you if it's feasible and do them at reasonable cost too.

If they are creased its new tubes. Its not only a matter of having a press its also about having all the right formers and only people that are geared up to do it will have those. I cant answer for the South Island but here in the North Island F1 Engineering are the very best. Anything thats a little more involved than straightforward straightening we send there.

forks arent too badly bent just a couple of mill but one is slightly more than the other, hence the bike loves left handers but not too keen on right handers off a kwaka zxr750 h1
