    Whats an easy way to bend sub-frame straight again?

    Hi, my sub-frame on my 85 250r is bent. I what is the easiest way to bend it back would be. I would like to try to salvage the powder-coating but I understand that I may not be able to do that. Any info would be great.

    Thanks

    leave the sub frame bolted to frame ... remove platics and are box if needed... use a 3 to 4 ft cheater bar... I use the one out of my floor jack.... slide it above one side and under the other .... now use force lightly.... eye ball it until it looks good..... I do it all the time to my MX aluminum sub frames.... I've never needed to buy a new one ... I've never used heat....Brett
