CB 350 F front end bent...

[1fasgsxr]

I have a bent front end..I am having a hard time telling what is bent. I took the whole thing apart to see if it was just twisted, bit it's still not right. How can I tell if the triple clamps or shaft is bent? Any tips? I am hoping it's just tube bent.

just hold the lower slider like in a vice soft jaws ,or down on a table tight,then gently spin around the stanchion tube(inner steel tube) if it is bent it will be very obvious to the naked eye
bent triple clamps are rare and only possible in a wreck with badly bent forks

It has been downed at some point. One of the steering stops is sheared off too..got the classic dents in the tank.
