Next to tackle were the bent forks. Riding Sykes would require one arm to be longer than the other to feel natural. Itâ€™s a convenient fact that Cub90 handlebars and wheels are torsionally stronger than the forks; something i used to my advantage. Wedging the front wheel, I added to scrap bits of pipe to the handlebars to increase leverage, and voila; one red face later, the forks are straight.
