    Triple clamp straightening anyone?

    Have taken my bike to a couple of places as the forks and handlebar are slightly turned to the left when going straight. They all said it was the triple clamp as the forks are fine, I have loosened everything and tried resetting it all back but had no luck.

    Does anyone know where I can get the triple clamp checked and straightened if required or does anyone have a triple tree for sale for a DRZ400SM?

    Thanks in advance

    No recommended companies in Auckland?
    I can't take it to waikato. I would probably have to send the tree and forks down for a full inspection and I can't freight it.
    I need somewhere in Auckland. Surely people who ride dirt bikes would know someone.

    try ringing steve for a start, he may not need the forks, he may even just need the triple clamps, put them in a courier bag and put a return courier bag in and you don't have to go far.....

    sounds hard.

    take your mum on a road trip and ride the fuckin thing to Hamilton.

    what if you pull it apart and send bits down to get checked, and your frame is the bent bit?

    p.s. Lens got a fuckin train or 3 you can use to get around on.

    spend the weekend perfecting wheelies, once you've got it you can ride to work without your front end.
    thank me later as you'll retain those wheelie skills and they are a real fanny magnet.
