I've bought a crashed Honda ST1100, initially to keep for parts, but am thinking about getting it going.

It has bent forks.

Is there anyone/anywhere near Hamilton/Auckland who can assess the forks and give me some options for repair/replace ?

Is google broken?

F1 engineering or wheel and frame are in your neck of the woods

Google doesn't work as well. I did a Google search and the seach results are dominated by retail bike shops. Wheel & Frame does come up (after Boyds etc) and no mention of F1 at all. A recommendation from this community is always helpful.
Thanks for your suggestion, I'll likely take my forks to F1.

F1 well known for quality work.
If there are creases the tubes are shot though.

Yeah it's quite technical, https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-home&source=hp&ei=TEGEXbODC5L0rAG5643oAg&q=motorcycle+fork+straightening+hamilton&oq=moto&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-hp.1.0.41i21j0i131j0j46i131j0i131j0l2j0i131j0.7286 .7927..9783...0.0..0.289.930.0j2j2......0....1.... ...8..41j41i13j41i131j46.sraIY20B7Ao
