Fork alignment question....

[Ruffy]

Last spring I greased my front forks. Put it all back together and everything looked good. A while later I had to trailler the bike and it was loaded with the bike on its sidestand and the front wheel turned left against the bulkhead. We strapped it down and only hauled it about 5 miles at low speed. Afterward it seems that the handlebars and the driving light assembly is tweaked to the right about 1/4 1/2". I never noticed that before. Sitting on the bike its either 1/4 lower on the right or 1/4 higher on the left. So, is there a procedure that I can do to make sure I line everything up right? Right now the bike is up on the lift. I plan on moving the fairing away and remove the top tree and check the pinch bolts. Any other ideas?

Check the top ends of the forks, if I have it right for the 2nd gens they should be the same as on the 1st gens,,,,,and that is that the top of the forks should be level with the top member of the triple tree. If you didn't tighten something well enough then the fork may have pushed through the triple tree and so give you the lean you mention.

Thanks for the reply Carl. The fork tubes are level with the top tree so that cant be it.
Since no one else has anything to offer i'll just figure it out for myself.
