hehe after. I'm not actually sure what they did to fix it. guessing untightening all the bolts and then tightening them again or something like that.

I thought my 7 was doing that, then i realised most of the time, im not in the middle of the seat for some reason, sat in the middle and it stopped doing it

Nah, they probably just crashed the bike again in the opposite direction to bend it back the other way

it all looked pretty straight in the pics was the rear cowl damaged how bad is the sub frame i have got one off munkeegirls old zx6 it looks straight

subframe was askew by quite a bit, so much you could feel yourself sitting to the right on the seat.

But its all good now cos bike is FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo!!!

Gave me final run down of the damage done from the two crashes its suffered in its life.

Fork leg bent
Fork tubes bent
Front axle bent
Front disk 40thou out.
Triple clamps twisted
Frame out (shortened wheelbase, altered rake?)
Swing arm twisted
Subframe bent
Left clip on bent
Snapped left foot peg bracket.

But now its all fixed.

I picked it up this morning. Cost me $600.

I just have to put it all back together.

did exactly this to one of my bikes a few years ago......loosened all triple-clamp bolts, put the smallest bit of pressure on the bars and *TWANG* went the front end.....something was obviously amiss it steered sweet after that......

Thats not too bad glen must be my turn next.
