I've been a bodyman for over thirty years. I've straightened lots of stuff but I've never been asked to straighten any forks yet.

by not running in to stuff you would eliminate all the steps but the beer drinking!

How do you do this? My dad has an old school hydraulic press but I'm having a hard time picturing how I would do it.

Some day I'll tell you the story on how they got bent. It involves 3 wheeler, four wheeler, a tree, and beer. I'm sure if you use your imagination you can figure it out.:beer
