hi folks. my bike hit the ground in some mysterious event before i bought it and the bars have always appeared to be crooked. i loosened up the bottom nut below the rubber dampers to see if anything would move around and that didn't help. i suppose the bars could be correct and something else is out of alignment. the issue doesn't really interfere with driving but sitting there and looking at it is starting to irk me! has anyone had a similar issue?
and speaking of which is there any better alternative to the rubber dampers they use? just seems like you would want a more secure attachment to the fork assembly. i guess the rubber dampens some or a lot of the vibrations, how do they deal with this issue on more current bikes? mine will need to be replaced in the future as they are starting to crack up.
