After discovering the brake pad problem and noting the huge curve of the fork I googled Moto grand record and came up with a picture of the bike i bought on ebay. I'm guessing this bike may have gone through a couple owners till it was put on ebay. Who knows. As you can see the fork has/had a whopping curve to it.

The wheelbase before I worked my magic was 41". Now it is 40", which would be typical for this bike, I would think.

The "technique' was simple. I wrapped hockey tape around the fork to protect it. Inserted the fork into the holes in my weight bench and leaned into it a bit. Then eyeballed it. Then test fit the wheel to make sure everything was square and centered. The bike still has a slight pull to the left. But can be ridden no hands with a bit of butt english. Probably needs the forkends aligned.
