Are these forks bent?
« on: March 21, 2011, 01:28 PM »
Right so i spoke to radman who has a set of these and he says his are straight.  The guy i bought them from says they are not bent and there are different gens?!  These are undrilled unlike others i have seen.
They dont look damaged and kinda look like they have been welded like this but at the same time just dont seem right with a rake like this.
They are se pre landing gear forks .. others call them cycle pro .. i dont know  ???
Who thinks they are bent?

They look big - what are they off  ???

Some forks have a strange rake so not sure... if they are cruisers it may make more sense.  :-\

Another way to check is the height of the dropouts in relation to say the LG's, try running a spirit level across to see what the difference is between them as you may find the dropouts are in the same position on both but the rake is greater on the CyclePro's giving them that goofy look.
