Ideas to bend frame back

[Atvrider6566]

Tweaked frame in crash and finally recovered enough to start working on it but not sure how to do it it's bent right on the end by the grab bar

Cut the old subframe off and purchase a weld on replacement or weld on tabs/mounts and get a bolt on replacement. Unless there is more bent then we can tell.

I mean, you didn't give us much to go on here.

Buy a used frame?  I have no idea where you're from, but where I'm located at, there are tons around.

just curious who builds a bolt on subframe for these that isnt like a drag frame.

Put it in the scrap pile and get another.

Should you decide to repair it, heat is required to properly repair it.  This is not a heat treated frame system.  If you try to bend it back cold, you risk over stretching the steel and breaking it.  Even if it does not break, it will be severely weakened if cold worked.  Heat to a low cherry red and reform.  do NOT quench with water, etc.  Reinforcements can be added, if needed.

You should bend the axle straight too...

Looks purely cosmetic to me.

Keep a GoPro on at ALL times while riding this from now on. We want to see the video of it killing you in the near future.

That's rough.

Let's see the video!

Replace that frame if you don't want it to happen again.

I've fixed more than I can count, if it's really bad I usually cut it clean off put a smaller pipe inside as a sleeve, drill some holes plug weld it and surface weld , grind it and it's  undetectable after paint. As blowit said heat is a must , big cheater bar or pipe and go slow. You need to tear that bitch down get rid of anything bent that will throw your eyes off then get frame level using your bottom rails as a starting point. It really depends on your level of skill and patience . If your doing it yourself a new frame is not a bad idea but if I'm working on a customer bike it's cheaper to have me fix it compared to tearing down and swapping everything .
