| Yes, it does look bent.
I think you will need to pull the steering stem out to confirm, hopefully its not the frame and replacing the stem will sort it. |

| I gotta agree with the mechanic, shouldn't be the frame w/out major damage. I don't really see how the low speed and no-speed drops could have caused it though. |

| I would pull stem out-----if bent, can sometimes be straightened with press. Real bad bend in stem=replace. If you cannot do yourself try Genuine Honda Shop. |

| I just ordered replacement parts for the entire steering column. Just cost $220. That's not that big of a deal compared to having to buy a new frame and having to pay for the repair. I always see if I can fix it first; if not, I'll take it to the mechanic. |
