    Hey Guys,
    Well just bought my first Triumph and decided to get a project. Got a 2018 Black Street Twin from an auction with front end damage. Figured I was going to get cheap and would upgrade some items anyway so might as well get damaged and replace with upgraded parts. Well.. hear we go... The front forks are broken so will need upgraded set. Any ideas! Saw these https://www.andreanigroup.com/products/motorcycle/105|T07E/?CART.+BONNEVILLE+900+StreetTwin+-+EV+

    But not sure if there were other options available.

    Welcome from rainy Iowa. Is Cristobal giving you any weather? Wishing you patience and perseverance on the Street Twin. Bent forks indicate a significant impact. Changing the sliders as well, I trust? I guess you will be inspecting the triple clamps and bearings for damage. I would go over the steering head and frame looking for burst paint or cracks. Before I acquired pictured Bonneville, I was considering a salvage. Iowa requires State inspection of the vehicle before they issue a title, to make sure it is properly restored. Just another boil on my bum and really, nothing showed up in the adverts that was economically viable. At any rate, post some images, and you can expect lots of opinions and advice from this lot. When you get it roadworthy, and if you are in Iowa, stop out for a beer.

    Welcome to the forum David. Those parts you're looking at are just fork internals, assuming your forks are bent / damaged you'll need to replace them as a whole.
