Diamond Back fork question

I have an 84/85 Diamond Back Silver Streak that I have started working on and have a question, I noticed that the forks are not straight in line with the head tube. I have looked at a ton of pics of other DB's and some look straight and some don't depending on the pic. Just curious if they are supposed to angle out a bit of if they are bent? Any info would be awesome!

Nope, they should be angled out, just a bit. If you put a straight edge on the head tube, the forks should be out around an inch or so. Maybe a bit more or less, I dunno. But definitely angled out

Well, that's how they are on my 83 Silver Streak anyway.
