Default weeble wobbles wobble!

So, I was on my way to work today and I got a little front end wobble. I got to looking and my front end and they were off a bit in my trees. I guess when I pulled the forks out to install my clip-ons I didn't make sure to check that they were back in exactly the same. I haven't taken it out since I adjusted it so I guess I'll find out later tonight if that was my problem. I also checked all of the spokes. I just thought I'd share today...
