It may sound obvious but panel beaters pull it back in the direction from which it was hit. If you try and straighten it from other directions you introduce new bends into it.
I would suggest you weld a bracket on and use a slide hammer. caveat, I am not a panel beater, just guessing.
You might be better off giving them the job of straightening it up for you if it is too far gone.

subframe? is that what you're talking about?

if it's the subby, stealthCBR929 has one f/s i think.


easier and better is to just get a new one. i'd think there'd be some problems with having to bend back aluminum. especially without heating it first? that's where you ride man, and if it's not straight, the bike won't feel the same


i don't know though. lets see some pics.
