Madbanshee01 Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hey guys, wanted to know if this has happene to any of you and if so how did you fix it. If not please help this banshee out with some advice on how to fix this part of the frame. I headed out for a ride and i always take a tie down strap with me just in case i get stuck. This time as the other bikes were already waiting for me, i wrapped the strap around and around my grap bar. As i was riding along i gues it unwrapped itself. To make this short, somehow the other end of the strap that was hanging, wrapped around my axle and began to pull down on my grap bar untill, BOW. My axle was fine but the one bars that are the very end of the banshee's frame, which bolt on the grap bar and frame bent down. If both of the bars would of bent down fine but only one did, so i am asking any of you guys of you have any advice on how to get this part of the frame back up. I have tried prying it but, yeah right thats all aluminum. Please help, thanx Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 If it's just the grab bar, get a new one. If it's the frame, take the grab bar off and put a long pipe over the frame tube and get your fattest friend to sit on the banshee and bend it back up. Most people's get bent up from going too far on a wheelie. In that case, you hammer it back down. Hopefully it doesn't break off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alba_banshee Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I bent the same part of my frame up trying to pop wheelies. I stood it up on the grab bar about five or six times. Maybe you could try that. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 dude I had the same problem... the Thanksgiving trip to Lil Sahara this year MY homemade aluminun rack, mounted on top of the grab bar loaded with a 6-8pack (water of course) some how manage to bend my frame about 2-3 inches on both sides from the 1st grab bar bolt motor side... I think it had something to do with the landing I had coming off the backside of a small dune.. I felt the impact, suspension compressed, and pain running through my anlkes and started up the legs.. I hammered it and kept riding..I noticed the bend a few hours later, My flag was damn near touching the ground.. I beleive the cooler full of water did it, only 10-15 pounds??? Well maybe the GFORCES made it 100-150#'s at the grab bar? ps screw the spelling.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
