    You're going to have to drop the motor to get it repaired properly. If you're going to go that far, I'd just hang everything on a new/used/different frame. And, looking again, I don't know how that could even be repaired properly with how badly distorted it is.

    And stop using frame sliders. Race bodywork isn't a long-term, high yield investment. When you fall down, you're going to damage it. It's better than the alternative. That very easily could have trashed the motor, too.

    GMD Computrack in Atl, Kent will be honest with you if it is repairable, or try MPH in Ohio they have a frame system as well....but I don't know the cost of a frame, but I would factor in the cost of logistics getting the frame to and from as well as time....might be cheaper with a new frame????

    Not sure about the sliders. I am looking at purchasing the bike for the motor. They were some gold aluminum blingtastic jobbies. I never run sliders for this reason, gold is just too gaudy for me.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    That can definitely be fixed. I can't comment on the rest of the frame, as we can't see it from the pic, but that is not really all that hard for a talented metal worker.
    We have fixed several frames like that. My favorite metal guy next door did the slick work. If that is all that is wrong with the frame, should be an easy fix for $200 - $300 at most.
