hammer, i bent the ltr frame (oh and radiator, oh and steering stem, oh and sub frame!!) -- took it to a guy in Wangara his name escapes me right now, i will get it and re post . Next door to Dynotime , anyway did an awesome job you wouldnt know it had so much damage, excellent work - slow and expensive but worth it!

thanks truant
i will prob get new frame to get away then see if this one can be straightened but have been told the cast alum section is tricky to straighten.
I will check him out next time up that way.

I twisted my YFZ subframe last year. I just put a 4ft long piece of steel pipe through the grab bar and twisted it back. Did the job. Until I broke it last weekend.
