Dolphined my Banshee

[WHITEGHOST06]

this weekend i went Glamis with a few buddies and after 5hrs of riding one of my friends bet me my Banshee doesn't do 4th gear wheelies and his Yfz 450 can.
i make the long story short i won the bet and to rub it in his face i did it again and over wheelied dragged my grabbar for at least 20 to 25 ft and noticed i bend the rear of my frame.
I was wondering if this has ever happen to anybody and can it be fixed or do i need hack it off and make a Subframe?

i believe R.C has some experiance with that

take the seat and back plastics off and you should be able to slide a tube (large floor jack handle) over the pieces that your grab bar bolts to and straighten them up. If it is bent out of level then you can stick the jack handle in horizontal and lift up and get it straightend out. You might have to have someone sit on the rear tire to help hold the bike down while you tug on it.

If it is bent beyond that then you have some more work to do. Just be creative with pry bars.

I would use levers & pullies....

the frame is bent upwards but i'll try the jack handle if thats doesn't work i was going do some little cuts with cutoff wheel and weld it up. someone told my ass not drag the grabbar because the frame is weak.
I remember a banshee frame that had a removible rear subframe? just wondering who makes it because it looks awesome, unless it was custom.
hey thanx for the help guys

HAHAHA LOMAO atleats you showed that Poker 450. i think the jack handle will work well. removable sub frame would be nice....keep us posted if you find something like that... Well happy bending.
