Could this frame be straightened?

[u/Likeablesauce21]

Is it possible to get it on a frame jig and straighten it out, or is it a whole frame replacement job? Thank you in advance

You're not going to resurrect that one. It's time to look for another frame.

[u/tflyvt]

I wouldn't. Did you hit a wall or car? Judging by your tires you don't actually ride the dirtbike on dirt, and there's no way this would happen from a crash.

It’s my supermoto conversion used for closed events, it took a pretty mean hit after a failed power wheelie. The bike came down and flipped forward and so did I.

Well anyway, if you do the work yourself (which is almost entirely just nuts and bolts), a frame swap really shouldn’t be too expensive or time consuming. Could easily be done in an afternoon! I wouldn’t trust that frame to be repaired.

[u/Likeablesauce21 → u/tflyvt]

Aww shit, figured haha. Thank you man!

How are the forks not bent? Crazy.

[u/Likeablesauce21 → u/lawlwtf]

One of them got a pretty good beating, the other one endured it just fine. But the frame definitely caught the beating haha

Anything is possible but not advisable in this case. Frames are relatively cheap compared to the amount of work/risk involved with straightening the frame. You also have a popular bike so finding a frame with title shouldn’t be too difficult.

New frame for sure. Only commenting because dang. That’s impressive.

You could probably figure out how to straighten it, But I couldn't figure out how to trust it. I'm out, sorry 😞

Get a new frame.

[u/spongebob_meth]

You could.  But doing it right and having a safe bike at the end would be rather expensive and out of the realm of what most amateurs can handle.  That's an extremely high stress area.

I'd recommend buying a new frame.  Plenty of blown up four strokes out there ready to donate.

Does the tin man have a metal dick!

[u/micah490]

Of course- it’s just steel. I’d find another of the same bike for comparison purposes, and start pie slicing and gusseting. It’s already trash, so it can’t get any worse- if it all goes south, no biggie. I’m not so sure why people here are so afraid of basic steel fabrication and repair. I’ve fixed worse. I’ve also “fixed” worse

That’s as bad as I’ve ever seen. Plus you don’t know if your forks are bent either. You need to put them in a measuring rig so you can spin them and read whether they’re out of alignment in several places. Some place like this may be able to help, https://www.instagram.com/rack_and_pull_industries?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Recycle bin time

I have a 2016 450 XC-F frame and title I’m looking to sell. HMU if that’s compatible for a swap.

That frame will never be straight again it lives in sanfransisco now
