If you are intent on fixing it then here's what you need to do.

1st thing you must do is see if the frame can be repaired and find someone who can do it.  Get a price and compare it to the cost a frame with a clean title from e-bay.  If you can afford that part then the rest can be done bit by bit for a reasonable cost.  The biggest 2 problems are 1) the frame being bent and 2) your mechanical ability.  If you can do the tear down and reassembly yourself then it can be kinda cost effective.  If you have to pay someone else to do all the work then give it up because even if you can find someone to do it you will end up spending more than it would cost you to just buy another bike.

If you still have your old gauges, and decide not to use any parts from them.....PM me....I might want them.

Good luck....might be easier to part this bike out and get some money out of it!
M-ROCin' it!!!
