Default RAPTOR 700 HELP PLEASE ARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHH

The arm will never be straight again, thats one problem. 2nd thing to look for is the toe in settings. Im sure the tie rod was bent. If not, the lower arm is putting the toe out of adjustment. Id put a new tie rod on with the lower arm and realign it.

Is the frame itself bent? If so your gonna have a tough time getting the bike to go straight again. If you look, on Ebay there are a set of "Full Flight" arms that have adjustments and all the pivot points to get you straight again.

Cut the bent mounts off for starters. After that you can have custom mounts made, with a custom bumper, or just have the bumper welded to the frame.
