Default NEED HELP - Adjusting Forks

I had low speed accident on my 2007 Vulcan 900 Custom and appearsby tire and handle bars are no longer in line. I need help on how to adjust this back. I took the nut off the tripple tree and it wont budge...Anyone know what else needs to loosen to shift the wheel/forks back in line the that handle bars?

loosen up the fork tubes in the triple clamps. Re torque the stem nut to set the stem bearings now that you have that off. Look up the string method of aligning on the internet. Some really good reads.

Welcome to KF and good luck.

+1, it should be a simple fix unless the forks are bent or the tripple is twisted, which is bad juju
