2004LEBanshee Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 (edited) Ok long story short I was going about 15 and rolled my bike once and It appear to have bent my stem or frame I really cant tell. But the three brackets that hold my plastic on top where the stem is are back about an inch and the bolt holes are no longer matching. How can I tell which is bent. How often do frames bend there. Wich is a good stem. How are SRP stems? Edited May 22, 2005 by 2004LEBanshee Quote
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Might just be the hoop part of the frame, just above the gusseting. I've bent mine back twice now. ... You'll know if the fuel tank is difficult to pull out. My powdercoating also cracked where the frame tubing had been stressed. Cure - Scaffolding pole down through the front bumper/ chassis and a chain link ratchet winch attached from the pole to the hoop. ... loosen the top steering mount bolts first tho'. ... Worked for me! Rare. Quote
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Errrrrrrrrr. .... I did. Rare. Quote
BdBanshee Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Just like Rare said, the top frame hoop bends very easy with a crash. Pull it back forward until the bolt holes in the plastic line up. Quote
