If the forks are not bent and just twisted then all you will need to do is loosen up the clamp bolts on the triple t and you should be able to realign them. Let me know if they are bent. I think I know where to get new ones for less than half of TXpowersports is going to want for them.

I purchased my new 2019 Tao TBR7 just last week. I only ride on the road, to and fro work. I don't have a tire problem as the tires work fine. I live on a dirt road 1/2 mile long, and the tires keep me in control in the dirt and sand. My problem is the speedo. it measures in KPH instead of MPH even thou the speedo clearly is marked MPH. I freaked out driving to work on a 55 mph road, doing 60-65 and being passed as if i was sitting still. I finally reached 80 on one area of the road, and was still being passed. Then I discovered the mislabeling of the speedo. I am wondering if I can buy a mph version.
