Has anyone done a mod/upgrade on the front forks of an old vino? I have one that appears to have been dropped or hit and the front tire is wearing very hard on the right side and the wheel is angled between the forks about 5 degrees from vertical axis.
OR
Could it be something that was not assembled right at some point? it has about 13,xxx miles so who knows.
Any suggestions on how to fix it or a different fork set up would be great. Thanks

It is a common problem with the Vino's, both of mine exhibit the same issue. I think it has to do with the suspension design. I just keep an eye on the tire sidewall, because my attempts to fix it have not helped much.
If you find a fix, please let us know.

Not sure what you mean by "older". I recall a US Vino Classic when I was in San Francisco, that was setup Euro style, with a trailing link front end and only a shock mounted on one side...maybe the left side? (2005 or 2006?) Over time, I can see that as a sure spring issue with some deformity/weakness. Never rode one however. The newer ones have more conventional forks.
