I hit a hole and jammed my handle bars so now they are skewed to the left, so I need to see how I can align them, also just to have for future reference

So do you think you bent something or knocked it out of alignment?

 

With handlebars lined up straight, what do the front wheels look like?

They are definitely toed out, It doesn’t look like anything is broken or bent though.

Get handlebars straight, put a ratchet strap on either side going to rear rack where they don’t move.

 Loosen the 19mm lock nuts on either end of the two tie rods (one will be reverse thread on either side).

Take a 10mm wrench, and find the flat in the tie rod, turn the rod until wheel is straight. 
Tighten down 19mm lock nuts.

Repeat on other side.

Thanks,

I’ve watched a couple of videos showing what you said, I’ll give it a go in the next couple of days.
