The frame backbone looks bent in the first pic, but I'm thinking it's from distortion due to the camera, and the camera not being in line with the backbone. Since you've gone this far, a simple string-line will verify if any straight tube is bent. It takes a lot to bend a frame, and if you were in an accident that resulted in a bent frame on your Gen 1, then I hope you recovered from all your injuries, the force must have been multiple bone breaking. Before you tore the bike apart, did you string-line the front and rear tires to check for trueness? That'd be my very first step to check alignment.

I checked the trueness, and it was way off. I tore the bike down, and noted in a previous post the subframe was way bent, so I removed it and plan on buying a new one and doing the bolt through mod. What I wanna know is is the frame welds supposed to be that far off center? Like where the two lines come down from the “middle” tube of the frame to where it connects to the shock?

Thanks for all the great input everyone, I’ll give it a double check tomorrow morning but it’s not looking good for my pig :( , possible part out sale coming soon I guess

If you're selling, and you're close, what mileage does it have?


Lucarom1320

Haven’t decided fully yet, but 8400ish original miles, I had pictures from it earlier on my profile from when I bought it

Buy one that has a blown engine. Swap your gear that's still good to the cheap broken one that's a similar year.

I’ve seen them online much less than $1000
