Default Bent forks

Greetings.

I have a slight bend somewhere in my forks. I know this because the axel is a pain to get in and it drifts slightly to the right.

Is there a way to get them straightened? I hate fighting over things like this on Ebay and there's no way I'm buying new forks at Honda prices.

If anyone has any other ideas or advise it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure they are not just twisted in the triples?

There's a place here in Colorado (I'd have to look it up) that repairs bent motorcycle rims, and they also straighten bent forks. Maybe try and find a similar shop around your region, or one you can ship it to. This type of repair would probably be best left to professionals, imo.
