| top bridge damage Hello friends, I am trying to put back my bike together after a freeway accident back in October. One of the areas that I am working at this moment is the front suspension. I think that I might need to readjust the FORK TOP Bridge and handle bars. I am including some images that show the damage. I am thinking in taking it to the shop but the budget my current budget is in the low. Any input is very much appreciated! Please advice, George Last edited by photo2u : 06-27-2009 at 2:34 PM. | |

| Re: top bridge damage I would say you definitely need a new upper triple (its definitely bent). You can probably find one off of e-bay for a good price. |

  | Re: top bridge damage If you take the bolt off and it is bent and the clamp returns to flush then just replace the bolt. Quote:

| Re: top bridge damage Thanks for your input gents! I will take off the bolts out off. I am hopping that it could be an easy fix. If not, I will have to keep my eyes open for one.  Thanks again, George |
