    alignment of the handlebars to the front wheel?

    Thank you all for your help. I ran and got the right size sockets today at lunch, loosened it all up and after a few kicks in the right direction it's straight. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :bow: Now I need to decide If I'm going to replace the faring at all. I think the parts I...

    The four bolts are the hex clamps right? None of my hex (alen) wrenches fit are they special sizes? I snapped a picture and circled the bolts that I think are the right ones.

    alignment of the handlebars to the front wheel?

    Good, because I don't think I would have gone as far as all that. :D I'm still bummed, and fighting the temptation to just take it in. Is there some trick to loosening the T-clamp?

    alignment of the handlebars to the front wheel?

    Hmm...All I need are two pieces of 2" steel square stock...LOL...I wonder if two 2x4's would work. I'm not sure I have any. I have clamps though. ;) Don't mind me as I joke around some. I went home for lunch and played with the bike a bit. The front wheel is not quite straight when the...

    alignment of the handlebars to the front wheel?

    Bike was droped in some soft dirt on it's left side. It was moving, but pretty slow. I rode it home without any trouble. but when riding straight the handlebars are off center. Not by much and as I said before unless you are moving you can't tell. Visually I can't see any damage to either the...

    Dropped my bike for the first time.

    I'm bummed but want to admit my mistake. I'm totaly ok witch is good. Bike has a cracked faring and the the steering is a touch out of alignment. I checked it out for a while afterwards. It all seemed ok. I sure hope it's not damage and is just something that can be realigned. Pretty boring...

    alignment of the handlebars to the front wheel?

    What would I adjust to correct a slight misalignment? I can't even see it when I'm looking at the bike but I notice it when riding.
