So i finally got the front brakes workin and took it for a spin, but it's like the front wheel isn't following the line of the yokes, Any help on this front? the mudguard seems to be in line with the wheel, and then the headlight and yokes seem to be just a couple of degrees off to the right! I'm in a serious quandry here cause i need to start gettin back on the road for work!

I would check the entire front end for alignment. Take the wheel off. Put the axel in with out tightening anything. See if it spins freely. Measure each fork to ensure they are the same distance in the triples. Check the upper and lower triples to ensure they are aligned. Make any adjustments. Then put the wheel back on.

If you still have issues, my guess would be that it was crashed at some point and they forks are not straight. Any suspension shop can check that. Fortunately 41mm forks are common, so getting replacement tubes will be easy.

Cool thanks knee puk it looks as though it had been crashed and the right fork is bent just a tad, the seal on the right fork is also buggered which would lead to the same conclusion, i'll check all the rest first though gotta put new tires on her so i'll be taking the front wheel off morrow anyway
