I had a low side on Monday and luckily both me and the bike came out with some very minor scratches. rode the bike home with no problem. But as I was riding home it appears the handlebars may be a bit twisted to the right.
The bike rode fine, it did not pull and tracked perfectly straight so I don't think it's the front end at all, but I think I may have just pulled on the grips somehow as I fell and moved the bars. It's very difficult to see as if it is off it's only 2-3degrees out of true straight. I don't know if this is something I can fix or should even bother to try.
The only other damage was to the right frame slider, the bottom of my saddle bag and the right mirror has a very slight rash. No other obvious damage, no leaking from the forks, no flat tires, no damage to the engine or frame, nothing to indicate anything more than a slide at 25mph.
Can I just loosen the main nut under the handle bars and see if I can move it the slight amount back to the left?
