Multiple axis bends - the whole left side went from proper rectangular shape to god knows what.

It's really nothing exciting. I was very surprised to see the racks bent this much. They must have absorbed all th impact as the bike has no other damage.

Just a suggestion- leave them off and go with soft, rackless bags.

Thought about it, but had the hard bags still.

I do recall your comment awhile ago about offroading with hard bags though. Will see if these are repairable, if not then I will likely go that route.

Thanks, Randy - I'll check it out.

Best in the biz is Chuck at Metaltek Racing in El Cajon. He's done work for several pro supercross teams like red bull KTM, etc. and several of my friends. I cased a triple jump at the old El Cajon MX track and badly bent the subframe of my YZ 400. Chuck got it back to perfection at very little cost. Super nice guy and very friendly. well respected by the best in the business. (However, hope that means his prices are still low!)
