Does anyone have a good way that i can straighten this back out or do i need a new fork. I work at an auto shop so i have access to torches and welders if needed.. i trued with vise grips but not much luck.
Def pick up some new ones asap. Also what brand forks are these and are they chromoly?

Put it in a bench vise and you should be able to work it back (mostly) straight. Use a breaker bar on the steerer tube if need be. I’ve done this with dropouts before.
It’s gonna bend again though and even quicker this time if you do smith grinds. Save up for forks and u probably need a new wheel as well (or atleast axle) bc I know that shit is bent too
