The Brute would push on the fork as well, which I am looking to avoid because the fork seems to be alright.
The issue appears to be entirely confined to the top tube, a fairly gradual hump of between 1/16" or thereabouts deviation from straight, about 2-3 inches back from the weld joint. No cracks, folds, or distortions in the tube that I can see. I would think the HTS-1 would be the way to straighten it in fairly simple fashion and without too much effort.
