I am in need of advise / suggestions.
Unfortunately I had an "incident" where I ran off the edge of the road in some gravel and laid down my baby in a ditch. I am just fine (didn't even scuff my riding boots). I wasn't moving fast, but it did a number on my tupperware in the gravel and twisted my front suspension in the ditch.
I am not positive, but I feel pretty sure that my left fork is bent. If it is, it is slight enough that I can't be sure while on the bike. I am going to pull it and check it, but in any case, I am planning on rebuilding the forks while they are off.
Here are my questions:
Thank you for considering the questions / comments.
Happy New Year

Here are my questions:
- If it is bent, do you think it advisable to just replace the tube?
- I have heard that progressive springs make a big difference in performance. Agree or disagree?
- What are your suggestions for progressive springs for 2004 ST-1300 non-ABS?
- Any links to products would be helpful.
- Any suggestions on fork rebuild kits?
- Any links for rebuild kits would be helpful.
