I'd pull the cage off; fab some kind of jig identical to the attachment points and take a hard look at the frame also. I doubt that even with a well-anchored jig; that you'll ever get it to look right; yet if you don't look the frame over real well....

Yea my buddy rolled mine and messed the roll cage all to hell and broke a lot off plastic on it. Just found out today that its gonna be around 2 thousand dollars to repair as soon as its fixed this bad toy is leavin this house before someone gets killed. Already someone broke their collar bone, another their arm, and another their leg in two places. Thats just around here.

Still makes me wonder about the stability of that machine or if it just inspires confidence to quickly. I have seen some videos of some serious wrecks with the rzr and I sure wouldn't want to endure a bad one. I must admit though that the roll cage really seems to be able to handle the abuse.

Please post them if you can; thanks.
I'm not of the opinion that these things hurt anybody; as the word needs to get out on the subject of safety involving these things pretty darn fast. Our so-called 'community' seemingly refuses to organize even to the point of demading minimal training or aftermarket build standards...so I really don't see any other manner in which to get the word out on safety or 'don't do this' iidiotic behavior with unorganized apathy running at an all time high.
