My Rocket has pulled to the left when I remove my hands from the bars since an off that I had last year. The engine bars took the brunt of an impact as shown in another thread Engine dresser bars
but it seems to be pulling ever since.
I've removed the front mudguard, loosened the triple clamps, headstock, jiggled the handlebars to straighten the forks several times now, (like the common thing done on triallie bike all the time to straighten front wheel after bike hitting the deck), even replaced the stock bars with t-bars too but still a pull. Happens on dual carriageways in the other lane, so not camber of road. Both front and back tyres replaced too, so not wear.
Before I go down the route of transmission repair I want to take it to a frame checker / straightener. I've got the engine out but will refit the swingarm/bevel box/rear wheel and take the rolling frame. I've got a large builders trailer so can transport it ok just need to work out where to.
Anyone had experience or recommendation of a frame straightener in the Southeast of England? I was thinking of taking it to these guys from what I've seen of reviews and that plenty of repair shops without facilities take to them Motorcycle Frame and Wheel Straightening Experts - Maidstone Motoliner Ltd
Any other recommendations?
