[QUOTE="Sherman, post: 435596, member: 1809"] There is a [URL="https://w6rec.com/duane/bmw/fork/title.html"]BMW fork alignment article[/URL] by Randy Glass that describes using plate glass to ensure coplanar fork tubes. Our forks are different, but the lowers should be in plane. You will need to remove the wheel, and brake calipers. Turn the lower tubes to get the smooth outer sides facing forward and check it with the a plate glass per [URL="https://w6rec.com/duane/bmw/fork/chapter6.html"]Chapter 6[/URL]. If the tubes are not torqued properly they can be out of alignment also (don't ask.) How bad was the accident? I don't think it would take much of a hit to throw the alignment off. [/QUOTE]
