Re: What Do you do with a bent sub?
My sub was tweaked up 2.5" on the left side when i got my bike.
I took a peice of pipe and cut it at the length to sit between the swing arm, and the "correct" side of the subframe.
then i strapped a wratcheting strap to the subframe (only the side i needed to adjust) and back around the swingarm. the pipe on the right side kept it from flexing the suspension, and the wratchet allowed me to pull the "high" side down.
I had to pull it 1" lower than it needed to be, in order to get it to spring back to the proper height.
I'd heard subframes can't be straightened and that they break... but this worked perfect for me.
good luck
