Handle Bar alignment

Post by ROBM50 » Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:33 pm

Hey, it appears that my handle bar suddenly seems to be slightly out of alignment to the left of front fender. Is this something that often occurs and can it be corrected using the steering damper or no? I would appreciate anyone's input on this!! Rob

Go to something firm like a pole or wall.
Get close to it and Whang the tire so the bars will go the direction ya need.
Tighten all bolts.
In Desert racing I'd find a large rock/bolder to align the front end if needed after a Get Off! .......lm

Thanks Loud Mouse! I will give it a try. Oh, should any bolts be loosened pryor or only just snugged after the alignment. Just want to be clear!

Ya may want to loosen the top chrome nuts and the ones at the lower tripple clamp. ............lm
