Yes...and I don't know, I would leave that to a professional rather than risk a wobble at speed.

if your steering it out of alignment you might have a bent fork tube, or fram neck.

ok, so what makes you think that the front is misaligned? Accident? curb stunting? new tires?

My bike was dropped when standing still.... Nothing major..... I have taken my bike over 90 and no problem... I think it's the brake fluid tank that throws my vision off... and I tend to be very paranoid sometimes.... I took a good look at it and I established that it's my head that’s out of alignment...
