I have handlebars on order, but besides them being twisted ( left is about an inch forward of right ), when i am riding "straight" the upper fork mounting bracket is about 3 to 4 degrees turned to the right, so besides the handlebars facing right a bit, the forks from the angle of rider's eye are turned.
The only advice i could find here on the forums was knifemaker's comment about giving them a quick shove with the front tire held in position. The guy at the shop that sold me the bike said to take a crowbar approach. Ima thinking it would take at least a 4 to 6 foot bar to get the torque this will need. My biggest concern is that what turns one way, might just give the other and i'll end up f'ing it up somehow worse than the tree that taught the original owner a lesson. Know what i mean? I'm not worried about f'ing up the handle bars since they are getting replaced.
Is there any another way?
