It doesn't seem like it, no. The a-arm mounting points on one side now look like they are slightly higher and to the rear in relation to the other side (between 1/4" - 1/2", I would say). Based on the damage to the bumper, that was the direction of the blow that it took. When looking at it head on, one side looks like it's sitting a little lower than the other. It's only really noticeable when it's sitting on a smooth, level surface. I didn't notice it when we were out in the sand. I'll get some pics up a.s.a.p.

I thought about that, but I haven't seen any pre-2002 California frames for sale here. Mine has a green sticker registration here in Cali. Post-2002 Banshees all got red stickers. As I ride year-round, I need to keep my green sticker. I've spoken to our DMV several times, but they won't give me a straight answer as to whether an out-of-state pre-2002 frame will get green or red stickered. I don't want to go that route unless I'm sure about what will happen with the registration. That only leaves me with repair, unless stumble upon a Cali frame from the right year for sale (am still looking, of course).

Hello All, So my Banshee got hit by another vehicle while it was parked on the edge of camp. Didn't seem bad at first glance, but once I got it back in the garage and took the junked bumper off, I noticed that the frame up front got slightly tweaked from the hit. Does anyone know any shops in the Los Angeles area that can straighten a bent frame? It doesn't look all that bad. I'd hate to have to get a new frame and junk this one because of it.

Got my radiator. It looks great, and the packing job to protect it during shipping was excellent. Thanks!
