as you can see the front half of my frame is twisted to the side. the only place i see bent anywhere on the frame is in the 2nd pic below right behind the a-arms. is there and easy way to bend it back straight again or will i need to find another frame? the bike still rides straight and doesnt pull, handles really well in left hand turns lol. i guess its a good thing since im left handed. let me know what you all think i should try to do.

yea i would look into getting another frame. take a look on ebay or craigslist prolly find a nice frame with a title for a good price.
 
Well your going to need a new frame. To get that thing unbent and not be weakened would be almost impossible. Time to start looking for a new frame! But while your at it, you should rebuild that sucka!

Yeah he could unbend it but it will snap after that from the stress from being bent and than unbending it. Check mine out! No title but clean vin number its an 2001 and i want 60-65 + shipping costs.

Dont even think about using that frame again,take it to the scrap yard or keep it as a trophy.
 
bent frames are always a bummer dude. im kinda in the same boat. somewhere around my swingarm pivot is bent and i cannot for the life of me figure it out. it almost requires me to get a f'ing micrometre out. i cant find where its bent.
 
thanks for the suggestions guys. im gonna have a buddy of mine look at it and see if he can do anything with it. he's made a couple custom bike frames before and is really good. i'll probly try to fix it since im not doing any racing or jumping. mainly just using it for light trail riding and flat riding.
