My subframe is twisted. I put a bar on it thinking it wasn't to bad. So my first scrape I dropped bad. I recommend getting it straitened. It's worth it.

just twist it back with a long bar for leverage.

it won't make a difference. just make your scrape bar sit flat at 12 and you'll be ok.

be careful bending aluminum back, it breaks easily and it also weakens it by bending it.

metal along the subframe for braces, and make the bar flush

Mine is completely ****ed too! I've literally got like 30 zipties and some ducttape holding it together. I'm getting a new one built from a guy that makes racing subframes and stuff. It's gonna have the bar mounts built in and be more like a cbr subframe. I'll post some pics when I get it done. should be nest week sometime.

CaptainMorgan looped his TL doing a stoppie at a bike show earlier this year. Doughboy tried to bend this ***** back and SNAP the sucka broke. The bike was tied to a telephone poll, and the subframe was being straightened with a come along when it happened.

The don't bend back so good....

you didn't read what i said. the subframe can be bent, no biggy, just make a new bar that lays flat when it's on 12. mine is bent, i made a new bar so that the bar is square (but not lined up iwth the sub frame) and it lays and drags fine. i'm learning all my bar tricks on it now and havne't had a bit of problems. and i'm on a shitty crowned road.
