My CL 72 restoration bike has a slight alignment problem. The wheel points slightly left compared to the handle bars and triple tree. I can't figure out what is wrong. I have jacked everything up and taken off the front wheel and it looks like the left shock is angled down (or the right shock is angled up) slightly. I have loosened up the shocks and have rotated them to see which one is bent. It appears that neither one is bent. <br />So it may be something else. <br />I can almost get it right by installing the axle and holding it solid while twisting the handle bars to get alignment. Then I tighten all nuts on the steering head, the shock clamp bolts and the plugs/bolts at the top of the shocks. <br />Any advice on how to proceed.<br />Thanks,<br />Mike
