Think it's fixable?
#20
I sense that you are interested in salvaging your bike, if possible. My friend did similar, but more extensive damage to his Yamaha FZ1300 2 years ago, and he actually repaired it. He is convinced that the frame was not bent. There are shops available that can examine your frame to determine if it has been damaged, and they are capable of straightening it. A few years ago Indian Motorcycles was making a practice run up Pikes Peak and and crashed their bike the day before the event. They rushed the bike, that had a custom built frame, to Dr Johns Motorcycle Frame Straightening, located in Anaheim Ca. Dr John's straightened the frame the same day, and they were able to compete the very next day. I used Dr John's to straighten a rear wheel on my Honda VFR800 that had minor dents due to hitting something in the road and I can report excellent results. The repair was perfect, inexpensive, and he agreed to let me drive up from San Diego and wait while he repaired it. While visiting Dr John's shop I witnessed several street bikes and multiple off road side-by-side vehicles waiting to be worked on. Minor frame damage CAN be successfully and safely repaired. My suggestion is that you give Dr John a phone call, if you want to save your bike.
