Hit a curb a while ago on the F4i when I first got the bike at a fairly low speed (15 mph or so). It's been Ok all this time but I noticed the front tire was wearing funny. Then I got educated on using string lines and think something is bent. As the tires doesn't seem to sit perfectly straight with one another. I gotta do some more measuring. The dealer who did the repair did replace all the front components. I got new Continental tires and they accentuate the pulling, it feels like I have to correct by pushlng left as the bike pulls right. I first thought it was the crown of the road, but perhaps not

I can't find ANYBODY in the Mid-atlantic area for frame straightening. I know GMD Computrack used to be in Virginia but no more, the closest looks like Boston which is an 8 hour drive from me in Maryland.

I know I can just get a new bike but this bike I've had a bunch of work done to it and has some sentimental value. Any pointers short of taking a trip up to Boston?

 

i know a good shop in freddy town if you are close to them
where in the AA are you?

 

I'm in Maryland. I see you are in Canada, that's a bit of a hike I tried calling Peter at GMD Computrak in Boston but so far have not heard back. I'll try again, hopefully he didn't fold up shop either.

 

what about a custom bike shop?

 

Update to this thread- I did some more research my forks are not bent as I took apart the front end. Not to mention they were replaced from my mishap as I found the itemized bill from the dealer who did the repair.

Looks like GMD computrak is not the only ones around. There's also the Schriebner Mega Max system made in Germany. I think only 4 of them are in the US with the closest one at Maximum Performance and Handling near Cleveland OH and the others in Cali or AZ. Another shop was listed in Virginia Beach (Hall's Motorcycle Repair) but it may be closed.

Ohio is a doable drive for me, I'd trailer the bike or put it in a cargo van. I'm pretty impressed with their website and videos, gives me confidence that they know what they're doing. I'll call them tomorrow to work out the details but I figure this information would be good for others who may need it in the future.

Here's another list I found of chassis specialists (includes both GMD Computrak and Mega Max). It does appear the mid-atlantic is SOL for chassis specialists
