well my front and rear wheels are bent, one of my co workers noticed it he noticed the rear so when i checked the front yup JUST MY ******* LUCK that ones bent to.

i dont have money cuase money is tight right now, ive probably been riding on these forever im pretty sure it happen awhile back while in the twisties, i feel no wobble at all really, wondering if its fine riding like this? when i get money i'll fix it both bends are on the right side.

Slight dents are ok, as long as the tire still holds air. How bad are the dents? Is there any damage to the forks or chassis?

No leaks on the forks? With the rear of the bike on a stable stand, compress the front end. Does it go down smoothly, or does it feel hard to do? The friction could also be due to old components in your forks. It's not hard to remove the front wheel and take off the forks (you'll need a front stand that lifts from the triple) and check each fork.

I've been riding with a bent front fork, the only problems I've noticed is a scary shaking on right hand corners, and my left arm gets much sorer after long drives.

If the dents arent that bad you can get them fixed. Look for a local frame straightening shop. Or you could send them out.
