Got bent housing?

[Tankota]

The front end that I just took out of my cruiser was bent pretty good. This is from years of abuse and hard wheeling. You could actually see the tire leaned inwards about 1/2 to 1" at the top when viewed from in front or behind the vehicle.

How many other people have bent their cruiser front housings?

Not I (that I know of) but a friend of mine bent his really bad once.

only time I have heard of cruiser housings bending is from jumping them.

I wasn't jumping it...at least not all 4 tires at once:D

I've had a strange wear (inside of the tread) for a five or 6 years and it got really bad recently.

This was most likely to my wheeling at funny rocks in the Naches area of Washington.

There was one ledge that I used to never make it up UNTIL I figured out that I needed to put the hammer down when my front tire got within 1 foot of the ledge then my front end would launch skywards (about 4 feet in 1 picture):eek: and I would go up and over the ledge.

When I first got my cruiser I was much much more timid with it. Now I'm out there to have fun:)

Mine was bent when I got it although I did'nt know it until I tried to get the old birfield out and put a pickup birfield in and had a really hard time getting it out and forget getting the pickup one in. Have since replaced it and the old one is taking up space in the back yard.
