The other day I was being stupid and ended up hitting a curb now my forks are on an angle! Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Everything seems to be straight and not bent, it's just the black part at the top which holds the forks together which isn't level as seen in first pic.

Like 190 said, replace it. It will never be right. Even if you bend it back.
When you take the forks out. Roll them on the floor. If there not bent, the ends shouldn't move up and down.

Mrs Bud 10/06/22 you are not going to pull that engine apart and put lots of new bits in it, are you?
