I finally stripped the subframe off my 2006 TE450 that I crashed in early July. I knew it was bent, but not by how much! It is bent in all 3 dimensions. So much so that the airbox is trashed too. I'm not sure if I'll be able to straighten it sufficiently and if the strength of the straightened aluminium will still be good enough.

Now I face the prospect of trying to locate and import the parts. Any advice?
