Ok well i went over my handlebars at the track yesterday and i hit pretty hard. Now my handlebars arent inline with my forks. Just wondering is there a trick to getting it square againe becuase eye balling it dosent seem to work. The cap dosent have any ° marks on it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can tell that eyeballing it doesn't work, you can apparently tell when it needs to be straigtened more... right?

Yea, just look at it from the side. It's that simple. Being a degree off isnt going to kill you.

Look at it straight down from the stem.

line your wheel between the 2 front stem clamp bolts whilst sat straight on the bike, that will b as close as u will ever get really

what beerman said....but have a friend hold it in place while you crank the bolt down or vise versa...
