My front tire locks up

RE: My front tire locks up
ok so after cleaning my calipers, putting new brakes, bleeding fluid, and rotating the tire around, so far everything seems fine. I did notice thought that the fork was not lined up correctly with the axel line and perhaps it was causing the pad to rub the rotor so much that it would heat up and expand the fluid. BUT something new came up. When I was fitting a new front fender, none of the holes lined up. The fender would fit crooked to the tire. We measured everything to see if the forks were bent. Everything thing was fine until we measured the wheel base. the left side is half inch shorter that the right. So after really careful examination of the forks, we found that the left one is bent. Now I need forks. When I test rode the bike it went straight and the tire looked straight. But I guess I got taken for a fool. Thank god I didnt ride it yet. About how much are some brand new forks?
