I have my 300 back and it's completely straight!

Gerry Piazza of GP Frame and Wheel in Woodland, CA did all the straightening. Great guy who did nice work at a very fair price. He also guarantees his work and said if I find anything off later, he'd fix it. I would recommend him to anyone who needs stuff straightened

Gerry described my bike as banana shaped because of how bent it was lol. Front end was 6 inches off from center. The corner of the bracket shown in the second picture had been completely bashed in to the point where it was pinching in the undertail and made it hard to remove. The tail was also off from center. Definitely an improvement now!

He did mention that the races of the steering head bearings were dented from the impact though and while it's rideable, the steering will be loose and just not very good. Looks like I'll have to get those tapered bearings earlier than expected.
