Bent Fork ..Try to Fix it or not ???

[Charles Fitch]

I Stripped it down today To Blast & Paint.. That's when i found the fork is bent down on the right side.. I want to fix it but not sure if it can handle the heat..The Wheel is off to the right side when installed but i could shim it and leave it alone.. Is this something that was overlooked when it was new??? Colson Rear Steer

If you are going to ride it that needs to be fixed! I wouldn't try to shim anything. V/r Shawn

Find a new fork. That looks sketchy as heck.

You can see the old repair. I would undo the fix , if possible , and then redo it.
Or you could just buy my rear steer tandem.!

I am not the guy but there are guys that can fix that fork, but given that damage might have occurred while on the frame I'd look at frame closely to ascertain it is straight. Look forward to seeing progress.
