Subframe straightening

[noobi]

What is the best way to straighten the gasgas subframe?
I tryed bending it in a vice but got no where.
Its tweaked to down and to the right slightly

Crowbar or another large piece of wood or steel.

Yep.
get someone to hold the bike (leave the subframe on the bike) I have used metal pipes and also 2x4's depending on the occassion.

I had a tightly bent subframe on a trials bike once. I cut a piece of tube lengthways that fit on top of the bent one. I welded the cut piece to a rod about 12" long (it now looked like a capital "T"). I was then able to beat the kinked piece back into place without it looking like I attacked it with a claw hammer. I hope you can vision that, my description is poor.

Good Luck.

I used a large pipe, and a piece of wood.
Due to the way the gasgas subframe is, in that there is the seat mount on it, I couldnt use the pipe to bend it back, so used a piece of wood and the pipe to line up the very end pipes on the subframe.
Its better than it was, but still not perfect
