dirtbiker Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I managed to bend a set of 03 Boxxer World Cup forks in a crash recently and i was wondering if it will be possible to straighten them? The stanchions seem to be fine, as do the internals but the lowers are twisted. One side of the axle is about 10-15mm further forward than the other. Unfortuantely the Boxxers have a one-piece lower casting, so its not just a case of replacing the brace between the legs. I was thinking of possibly clamping one leg in a vice and then applying gentle pressure to the other leg in an attempt to straighten them? I've been quoted ~£400 for repair on these babies, so if i can make them ride-able again without paying that then i'd be very happy! Any thoughts appreciated, i'm aware that bending them back will result in metal fatigue in the alloy, but i'd be willing to risk riding them as long as the brace doesnt snap while trying to straighten it!

Mr Motivator Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Ha, I heard about this. Didn't you damage his frame too? Try southerndownhill.com, they'll all know about this suspension stuff. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
