    Righto I've dropped her. What's the easiest/best way to get my rear struts square again. Tyre rubs on one side with two on over some dips in the road.

    No quick easy fix , remove the rear fender and strut covers to see how bent the frame horns are and start from there
    Most Harley's the rear wheel is offset to one side slightly from factory any way

    Perthhog, I've pulled it down and come to the conclusion it is the frame horns not the struts. Out about 10 mm. No idea who would be the best ones to fix it in SEQ. Any ideas out there?
