Bike was downed a bit over a month ago, had posted for advice. Now that i've replaced a lot of parts on the front end, need to know what to do next.

Ive replaced the upper and lower triple tree clamps and both forks. Brake pads are on the way, and they are drained. But before I did the brakes it still isnt going in a straight line, I have to keep readjusting.

I need to know what other potential problems I need to fix, or at least check to get off the list. Can the current brake pads be pulling to one side? When I replace will that help? Also my risers are not straight, but that shouldnt affect the bike from going straight if you ride with that adjustment in mind. Its a 95 virago if anyone needs to know, but any help will be greatly appriciated.

Have you had the frame checked to see if it was bent? You may not be able to tell it via the naked eye, especially if it's bent where the trees mount to the frame.
