I'll be honest, I don't really know that much about fork geometry etc so looking at your photo doesnt tell me anything. What do you mean by "messing up the handling", and "straightening" it out. Describe the handling changes that started with the new fork.
I cant offer help but am curious about what negative effects happened, and at the same time to figure out fork stuff more.
I take it the wheelbase is longer because of the new fork? Did it slow down the handling a great deal?
