Default bike fell over onto right bar end

It seems that the handle bars are point slightly to the left when the wheel is straight. Also I noticed that the front tire is not centered in the fender. I dont know if the second issue is related to the first. My question is if I loosten the bolt at the center of the handle bar can I move it back to the right to straighten it up? If not what can I do?

It sounds like maybe your forks twisted in the tripple tree clamps. Find a way to support the bike so that the front wheel is off the ground. Then you can loosen the pinch bolts that hold the forks in the tripple tree and straighten it up. So long as you keep the Clip-On's attached, you don't have to worry about the fork tubes falling out.

I did what you said this weekend and everything seemed to go back where it should be. Thanks for the advice.
