frame check

[munstarr]

ok long story short. i bought a bike that has been down im at the point were i only need a few small things. but after having lookied at other bikes i think the frame is bent. anyone know where i cant have the frame checked and possible fixed. this will be during the winter i will take every thing off it so the frame will be off by it self.

Actually.......,

Here is a method used to check forks, but will work for the frame also.

You're right, I'm sorry.

Here's how you tell if your forks are straight: Get two pieces of fishing line, about 6 feet long each. Its best if you get at least 25 lb. test, but 15 lb. will work.

Then get two bottles of Clorox Bleach. Make sure you get the big bottles, with the handles. Empty out all of the bleach (preferably in your neighbors well ).

Now, put the bike on its kickstand. Tie one end of the fishing line to your handlebars, and feed it through the upper fairings, along the forks. Then take the Clorox bottles, and place them under the front forks. Tie the other end of the fishing line to the Clorox bottle's handles.

Last, mark the lines just before the knots you have tied. Take everything back apart, and compare the marks on the fishing lines. If one line is longer than another, your forks are irreperably damaged, and you need Peter to get you some good Ohlins forks that are the same length.
