Has anyone had an experience with bending the front of a 06 450 frame back into the correct position???. Mine is slightly bent and i plan to gussett after bending possibly, but scared to bend due to do being weaker well mabye stronger with gussetts

Are you talking about bending the front of the frame? If so, I know people that just leave them bent, and adjust the wheels with the tie rods.

yes the front of the frame. oh and i have been racing and riding the hell out of it, just recently overjumped and it bent a lil more. i had fixed the alignment and its just to bad now. it does not turn as sharp to the left as the right and i need it go all the way. But any ways it is at the shop getting bent back and then off to be gusseted after the bending. i will let you know how it works out.

Use a jack to push up on the area that kinked as you pull the bent side forward- will usually crack but just weld it!

Frame has been bent back and it has been gusseted in that area of the bend. It definatly turns better to the left now. Will be testing the strength of it 2morrow at Rocket. #75
