anthony6621 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I just bent my sub frame in the front where the radiator is at. My gas tank wont come off. The plastic covering the radiator doesnt sit right or the side covers covering the gas tank. Any cheap fixes?( im a broke college student) Here is a pic. ( sorry didnt have my digital camera) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaotik1 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have a 2001 frame for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 1. Get big bar 2. Position bar 3. Bend subframe back :biggrin: Buddy bent his up a little where his tank wouldn't come off and he just bent 'er back. I can't tell from the pic where it's bent, but just position the bar in the right place and I don't think you'd have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 2x4 and a small sledge would be ur best bet for now steering stem is probly bent too if u can get it out it might make it a little easier to bend back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 if you take it out make sure you dont over do it and cant get the stem back in and ined up right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony6621 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Im going to try using a Tie Down attached to a tree to bend it back. Should i take off the radiator and steering stem? My steering stem is slightly bent, but not enough to buy a new one plus i love hill climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamaha04 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 dude i did the same thing when i first got my banshee only not as bad. make sure you do take the steering steem off also anything else you can. i straped mine to a tree and then used a come along and bent it alittle past where it was supose to be and then when i took off all staps it came right back into place and hasnt moved since but i do suggest after doing you gusset the frame there. something i should do soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony6621 Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 alright. I removed the steering stem but i kept the radiator on. I tried bending it back with a tie down and a tree but after a while the bike just didn't stay stationed and it started dragging. I put a few blocks on the rear wheels and the brakes.. any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 push the thing back in place, reweld the sheet metal supports and add some new supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
