Wish me Luck. With the help of a friend of mine who has rebuilt his own cruiser and youtube, I will be taking my forks off. I'm not mechanically inclined whatsoever so it will be a learning experience.
The reason for this is to assess the damage that occurred when I hit a curb at an angle while slamming on the front brakes causing me to do a stoppy and land on its left side. More of the story is detailed here
I will post progress pics as I take it apart. I have the two car jacks on the way as I will be lifting it by those as Marthy does. Any input or advice is appreciated. Also note that a motorcycle mechanic shop looked at my bike and without taking anything apart, deemed it to be "totaled" because they said the frame is bent. I don't believe it and will measure for that as well. Bike has 300miles and pulls to the left hard. Front left fork looks bent into "C" shape with the curve going laterally out to the left side.
