My bike is not Straight, and i don't mean its gay!!!

It appears that when i was hit at Fontana, something got bent. If anyone has any suggestions im all ears. Im taking the front end apart right now and going to put it back to make sure the forks aren't just twisted in the clamps. I already loosened the clamps and rotated the forks around and its still not straignt. When i try to ride in a straight line the bars are ****ed to the left. I also dont know if its the swingarm cause it took a hard hit as well. Im thinking new tripples and a new swingarm might be the cheapest way to trouble shoot it. If anyone knows someone in the san diego area i can take it to let me know! I was hoping to have the bike back toghther for the 4th and 5th but it does not look like its going to happen now..

As far as I know, they no longer have a GMD Computrack in LA. It's in San Jose.

Dr. John's is probably the closest most reputable shop to take your bike to. He can get your bike better than stock spec at fairly decent rates. Give him a call and he can at least get you a rough estimate. You can also check out his website at http://www.drjohnsmfs.com for current rates.

Man.. that really sux that your bike is not straight.... although I think your swingarm should be alright, it's hopefully just your forks that might have a slight bend in them.

Yeah...looks like the Gixxer may be back on Track Duty till you get that thing worked out.
