Back in the day I would have probably tried my Little Brute fork straightener on the fork by leaving the fork installed in the bike, turning it 180 degrees from normal, and then pushing it back into alignment. Made a lot of $$$ with the Little Brute, but that was in the day of steel forks and frames and usually the damage was just the opposite of what is shown in this case...fork pushed back due to a front end collision. I have seen instances of where a bent steerer tube would straighten out when the fork was aligned back into position.
