FYI. They don't have a Gas Gas jig so you will have to tweek it a bit to fit the bike.

I don't know what he hit but it smashed it to within 1/2" of being flat and about 4" long, the rearward section has an indentention of the flywheel cover so it's actually caved inwards on both sides, looks like it was put in a vice. I can't believe the flywheel cover didn't break. The GasGas pipe sticks out quite a ways on the left side and he has quite a habit of nailing things with that section of the pipe. At this point it is so tweaked that you can see the 2 exhaust o-rings on one side of the spigot. He's up camping and still riding it (at least Saturday he was). He said it didn't have much top end though
I was up there Saturday and saw it. If they could repair it I don't think I could ever get it close to lining back up again.
