Thanks Bro! I'm going to do this in my VTX, a mechanic install a bad neck bearings almost a year ago, they have broken 2 days after that and my triple tree were flying out internally in the bike frame, terrible driving experience... then i decided replace it, but i feel like my front tire only touch a portion of the tire width and i need to steer the handlebar carried to one side to keep the bike straight. i have checked forks, they are straight, but i haven't had idea how to check steering stem. Time to dessaembly one more time!

I imagine the 390 being a price point motorcycle has rather soft triples. The good thing if that is true is they would be easiest to straighten compared to quality harder alloys. I am thinking one could even TRY bolting both the fork tubes in the triples upside down (not poking below bottom) and then finding a longish heavy steel pipe that fits snugly over the steering yoke stem carefully working the pipe and tubes as levers against one another (with burly dude's help?) as needed make very small corrections until the triple once agaib sits flush on a truly flat surface l(ike a machinists a granite table designed for such) ....it may not end up perfect but so long as forks slide smoothly back into place I think it would be totally fine for a playbike. Back in the day we straightened forks way too bent to qualify lol some you could still see evidence of kink they were bent so badly but taking the time with hydraulic press and straight edge we always got the forks to work again....was it right? lol hell no but for play bikes (as opposed to serious race bikes) it worked fine

I crashed my Duke & the lower triple was cracked all the way through. You are correct on your assumption that the triples are soft. It almost looks like pot metal to me.
