Bent Fork???????????

I went out and checked the bike over after it fell over. Something looks crooked.

The triples might just be tweaked. loosen both lower triples and the axle nut. Compress forks rapidly against a wall or curb. Retighten and check again. If in doubt then you can remove the forks, hold the lower in a vice and rotate the upper tube to see if they are bent.

Are you talking about loosening the lower pinch bolts?

swordfish is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't want to give you false hope, but when I lowsided I didn't bent my forks or my triple, but I did bend my clip-on. I just got a pair of vortex's. so it might just be the clip-on.
