Woke up from a messy night to find i had bent my front forks not to the point where the bike is not road safe but its an eye sore and makes cornering dodgy.

I was due to re up the fork oil and replace the seals but i have bigger problems now lol

The chrome fork sanchions are bent at not the top yoke but the lower yoke.

Iam curious could i take this some where to get them re bent into shape and not have to worry about them.

Or do i have to replace the sanchions.

Also i have found a few DT125 fork sanchions that i can pickup cheap would they fit the XT125x?

thank in advance for help

Too much weed LOL I have straighten tube's before ,all you need is a press v blocks and a dial indicator but they are never as strong get new/used ones would be the safe way

Going to buy new ones and get olds ones straightened because the price turned out to be 35 quid altogether which is good for me.

How did they get bent?!

As long as they arent creased you will be able to have them straightened, shouldnt cost that much. A slight bend will be fine.
