    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    If you want to stay in auckland try Bruin engineering. Does lots of work on dirt bike suspension and if they aren't creased will be able to sort them out.

    These guys supply aftermarket tubes, way cheaper than factory prices too.

    Are they actually bent or just twisted in the triple clamps? Is the wheel pointing in the wrong direction (not straight)? Before you spend any money loosen off the bottom triple clamp around the forks, leave the top ones tight. Jump on your bike and bounce the forks up and down aggresively (hold the front brake). If the forks are just twisted in the clamps then the bouncing will naturally bring them back in line.

    There doesn't seem to be any creasing, but I am not sure...I am not overly informed in such areas.

    Any sage wisdom would be appreciated.

    BTW. Bike is a 99 Kwaka VN250 (new shape)
