Is there anybody out there able to re-align forks and check the geometry, as you can see this pair ain't quite straight

I took them to be done on Friday and they kindly had them done by Saturday morning as I was only visiting the area. They charge £20 a bend and claim to have done two, so £40 for these.
So here's the before...
...and here's the after...
Can anyone tell me the difference?

well its less bent than before...................but still bent. IMO of course.
Why don't you send them a pic of the before and after and ask for a full refund as they haven't done the job
Alternatively do nothing and let the pix speak for themselves on here.

not good, but the legs on the forks may be straight and it might be that the poplos were in the wrong place from the factory!!!
Where did you find them? Probably throw away if they've straightened the legs. You may aswell get a new pair imo

Get your money back! They have not checked the finished job.Good on you for sharing the pics with us.I would like to see more crap work highlighted and so called experts named.I would recommend Frank Sanderson at Lambretta Innovation.He has all the jigs and his own remanufactured parts for forks and frames,good luck.

sorry for a recommendation going wrong. phil did about 8 sets of forks for me a few years ago and they were all spot on. he should sort you out hopefully.
