subframe out of shape issue

[macphray]

Hi all ,does any one know of any company or persons that staightens subframes as i took mine of after having issues with the hanging of my endcans ,it
turns out that the sub is buckled due to hitting the deck and need to be heated and bent back, Have any of you had this before ?is it easy to do ?or will i buy new one from silveders for £177 or do i take a gamble and get one of ebay ?whats your thoughts on this>?

i've bought one off ebay before, you can normally find one for £30, have a word with tony mon, he might have one for sale, and if he does you know it will be straight. also 71geoff normally has firestorm parts, give tony a shout first and go from there, don't pay silly money for an new one it ain't worth it buddy

Scaffold pole and 2 hefty people should twist it back into shape. Worked for me on my old SV650.

Either one of two ways without major expense.
1st option, straighten it out, but without seeing it I don’t know how easy that would be.
2nd option, get one off ebay.
On both options, if you can be bothered doing it, get it powder coated, I’m sure you’ll have a powder coating company local to you who'll do a cash job, I had mine done, it cost £20
Well worth doing or it’ll just corrode after a year or two like they all do, especially on the small cross bar under the battery compartment

I got one off ebay for 20 quid after twisting mine. At that price its not worth bothering trying to straigjten a bent one

[agentpineapple]

rub it down and paint it with hammerite will do the trick aswell.......

One on ebay at the moment.

Got one sitting in the garage awaiting a new home after buying a spare one & having it powder coated.

Rusty in the normal places but get it shot blasted & powder coated & you'll never know.

PM me make me an offer I cant refuse!

just to show how out of square the subframe is.

That doesn't look like a big problem to fix, where do you live, if you're not too far away from me you can drop it off and I'll have a go at repairing it for you nothing to lose it's no good like it is anyway.
