front wheel alignment

[JayDub]

When i line up the top yoke (triple tree) 90 degrees to the center line of the bike the front wheel is - a bit more than slightly - pointing to the left, I did the usual loosening the clamps and spindle, twist it the opposite way and tighten it all up again, but is hardly made any difference!  .  Any tips?

you aint got bent forks have ya ?

[JayDub]

Hope not! It handles/feels OK -  I'll try twistin them 180 degrees in the clamps.

Whip the lower bar clamp bolts out, the ones going through the top yoke and check those for bends. Happens with the rubber mounted bars, have a fall and the rubber gives up till they reach the limit, then they bend rather than the bars as momentum has been built up.

the bars or mounts are bent but I ignored those and  lined up the top yoke coz of that.

As soon as I get the chance I'll check, but I'm thinking it may be the yokes, (you got any  )
Maybe I'll just have your bike?  no, seriously - I don't want to clean out your stash, I'll have a closer look when I can. Thanks
