you better check your frame with that hard of a hit you might have bent or broken more than what you think

thats what i was worying about im praying thats not the case

but the swingarm is only slightly bent but i found one on ebay for cheap so i got it i can see on the swingarm were its bent so im just hoping the frame isnt bent
