I write this from behind the parapet , for fear of the rocks that might come my way, having asked a dumb question. Anyway, here goes.
I have removed and replaced the front wheel having read @jfheath's Article Front Wheel Removal & Refitting, and having watched his excellent video of the movement of the forks. No problems here.
I am considering changing the fork oil - hasn't been changed in 37k miles - but not leaking. I have done a lot of research on the forum and watched many youtube videos including delboy's Fork Alignment video.
Although this forum recommends doing one fork at a time for good reason, I notice on the videos that most people remove both at the same time (not ST1300).
So here's my question:-
if one or both forks are removed at a time, what is it in the process that ensures the front axle is perfectly parallel to the handlebars - no one covers this in the video. The problem can happen with a car when the front wheels are pointing straight ahead, but the steering wheel is not, and adjustment is required.
Thanks
