    I am currently rebuilding a 98 flsts. The springer front end is bent. Can it be straightened? The frame is bent, can it be straightened? Is there any where I can get diagrams as I put it back together? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

    Depends on the amount of damage, you need to find a shop that has the proper equipment to take care of the frame. As far as the forks I'd doubt it could be done perfectly but I'd ask the same shop that is doing the frame.

    Don't leave this to a novice, a bent frame or forks could get you or someone killed.

    man...I don't know if I would mess with a bent springer...lake shore harley davidson has factory frame tables and should be able to take care of you...maybe they could take care of the springer too...or steer you in the right direction....be safe!! :D
