Default possible to bend/warp triple tree?

the reason i ask....i wrecked my bike and carried it to a honda dealer to get a list of what was worng with it and an estimate to fix it, they said the forks were bent (among other things), i got a pair of forks off ebay and i put them on the bike and the front tire still turns to the right (about 1-2 o'clock position) when the handlebars are straight, the same as it was b4 i changed them...........so what i really need to know is, do i need to buy a triple tree or is there something else () that maybe wrong thanks

Your tubes are twisted, you need to twist them so they are even, I wrecked my F3 and the curb twisted them sideways, I had to loosen them up and twist them till they were both perfect.

i have the same problem, check your wheel. It may not look bent, but there is a good possibility it is. I had the same problem and had honda look over the front end for me.That is what came back with what was causing my bike to do the exact same thing.
