OK, I feel like an idiot for asking. I know this was posted at some point, but apparently my search-fu is weak. What is the best way to tighten up the bolts on the front end to align everything properly? I tried adjusting the steering bearing in the past and I think I got things a little tweaked somewhere. Between the steering bolt, pinch bolts on the triples, brace/fender mount bolts, axle, and axle pinch bolt, what is the correct procedure to tighten everything down? Thanks!

I bolt down the wheel first and leave everything else loose.Then I move on to the lower triple pinch bolts,upper triple pinch bolts,and finally I set the stem tension,and lock it down.Then I put everything back on starting at the bars and working down.just my way of doing things and it works for me.
