DAMN!! That's a very expensive lesson learned right there! I've let friends sit on mine, but never handed anyone the key -- and i won't. Had a friend that lent his F4i to a buddy of his and it got totalled in an Outback parking lot........an even more expensive lesson.

On the plus side, you now have the best ground clearance you can get, short of a sidewinder...

fbmbks- That sucks! Sorry to see that.... What system do you have installed(brocks, muzzy, other)? You may want to browse the classified section for a while, you can find some good deals there and get a replacement with no dents. If the avaitar you have is the color of your bike then you can also look into getting a cheaper system(used off of classified) and powercoating it black. Just a suggestion...

the best way to fix is to cut out and hammer dolly it out to the shape and tig weld back have done this on many motocross and sled exhaust ive had guys try the freezing thing takes a case of beer and checking often to make sure it doesnt split the pipe else were plus its messy

Ouch. Is your bike lowered? I see that my Muzzy's header hangs lower then the stock one too so i gotta be careful.

That sucks bro. I'm going to raise my rear up about 3/4" to get some better turn in.
