Seems pretty straight to me now.

I believe in percussive maintenance.

The triple clamps probably got a knock at some stage. Just loosened everything, clamp the front wheel in between my legs and every so slightly straightened the forks in the clamps. After that I tightened everything up as evenly as possible. It turned out good. Tomorrow I am lifting the engine out of the frame. Looking forward to that.

That's good news. I hope the rest of the project goes as well.
