yeah, i thought about that and i'd still prefer the $300 frame, the straightening process just doesn't instill me with confidence. and its not really that cheap, the bloke i bought my forks off was selling one for $200 but at the time i didn't think my frame was bent (hard to tell when everything else is so munched
). when you think about it, theres not a whole lot of uses for a ZX7R frame by itself, so its not gunna be in very high demand, so your not very likely to get a bidding war happening, so the price isn't gunna hit the roof in a hurry. see how it goes i guess, but i'd still prefer to blow $300 trying than have a crack at the strightening for double that...
