I agree , it probably happened when the forks "shocks were not even " . when they were not even there would have been more pressure on the side of the wheel," more pressure towards the front side of the tire , like riding right of center of the tire ," pushing towards the shorter side. When looking at the pic , was the left shock shorter ? If so that explains the reason it would have bent that way.

Yes, when looking at the picture the left side was shorter (right side when riding).

I took the triple tree off last night, and it is every bit as bent as the picture would leave you to believe. Now the question is locating a new triple tree. Who has the best selection? I have searched all over. I have 13" wheels and a lot of the triples are much shorter. Those that would appear to be a close fit are made for 33mm shock forks rather than 30mm shock forks. Why in the heck can't scooter front ends be standardized... at all. Does the industry really need a hundred different kinds of triple trees?
I need an 8" center to center fork diameter with a 425mm total length and 30mm shock diameter. the center diameter where the races ago is about 29mm, the tip where the handlebars fasten is about 23.5-24mm.
I can find things that are close... like everything BUT the 30mm shock diameter (it has 33mm shock diameter).
