Are my forks bent?
it sounds like your yokes may be faulty if your forks are not bent, can you measure accurately the distance between the fork tubes just below the top yoke, and then measure again between the fork tubes just where they go into the slider parts, obviously you need to do this with the fork pinch bolts loosened, this will tell you if your forks are running parallel or not.
I'd take a measurement like this in an awkward place by means of a home made divider, made from a length of stiff wire, this can be bent into a shape that fits around obstacles, just bend some little pointy out bits on the ends to go towards the tubes, then keep bending the rest of it slightly until it fits perfectly between the desired measuring points, then without putting any extra stress on the home made divider place it between the next desired measuring points to see if they are the same distance, if this makes no sense then I don't care as I know what I mean and if that icecream melts too fast then so be it.
it's not my time to go, it's not my time to die
the last thing I want is for my family to cry
