Ya i did Ryke, and they are dead even, unless somehow the spacer i made when i changed out the front springs is way off, but i don't think so, have not checked them though. Only other think i heard is that its not always suppose to be even at the top, not sure if thats accurate or not.
Tonight i backed off everything right to the brake calipers had the bike off the ground with the front wheel just touching enough to hold up the front end, gave the front a twist so that the front tire was straight, then the bars were out! and the top tree seems out as well about 5%, So measured the forks above the top tree dead even and snugged them down, backed off the stem nut, lifted the bike higher and gave the front wheel a good spin then hit the brakes, did this a few times, front seemed better bars still out, tree still out, tire in line! Hmmmm... lowered the biked and bounced her a couple times, raised the bike and thought thats as good as she is gonna get, so buttoned up the lower tree the axle pinch bolts and the axle support plate. When i was done i started focusing on the bars, risers and the top tree, not looking right, backed off the riser nuts and moved them so they were center, now tree out, not a ton mind you bu out, found a good place for the bars where the front tire was straight and buttoned them down, then slowly as i held the front end off to the side i wanted i did the steering stem bolt. Still looks out tome, but someone else might not notice it, took for a quick scoot around the block,let go the bars and its better for sure, now maybe 1/8th a cheek to balance as apposed to the whole have:-) but does seem better, not sure, was pretty sure when i bought it but who knows something may have happened to it when he had it. When you have your hands on the bars you would not notice a thing, unless you let go the right and just held the left, then you are pushing slightly to maintain straight line. Tomorrow i will do the rear alignment and we will see, otherwise i am driving this sucker!
