Frame Straightening
Get your motorcycle frame re-aligned
Frame straightening can be necessary even from a small shunt. In fact a large part of the straightening that we have done has been for race teams taking brand new bikes from the crate and ensuring that both their main race bike and the wet bike are exactly the same geometrically i.e more accurately than factory tolerances.
No two bikes are crashed in the same way (unless you know better, and if you do, you should have learned the first time!). It is impossible to quote a definitive price for frame straightening. If all goes well, nothing cracks, then a very rough guide is 2 to 4 hours after the bike has been setup on the jig, but again this can vary on the severity of the damage.
One thing we can tell you – we won’t even start if we don’t think that there is a hope of straightening your frame, and if we can, it will save you hundreds of pounds (if not thousands) over the cost of a new frame and re-framing.

Or send us pictures of your bike and we will be happy to give you advice on the best way forward.
What Do We Need ?
We need your bike stripped of bodywork, with nuts, bolts and screws that hold the front yoke in the bike loose for fast removal of the front end of the bike. DO NOT remove the engine or swing arm (a stressed frame may spring further out of shape if these are removed), and we need them in to measure and more so to allow us to put pressure on the frame. In the case of practically all modern bikes, engines are a stressed member of the frame.
We will gladly strip and rebuild your bike, but this labour has not been accounted for in the above price/time guide for frame straightening.
Please not that on every 3rd job we generally find that new tooling needs to be acquired in order to carry out the task of mounting the bike, before any rectification can take place. We do not charge for this.
Please call 01508 471919 or email pictures of your bike and we will be happy to give you advice on the best way forward.
