I never tried to fix bike frame. I think that Harley frame is made of pretty soft pipes which don't break in accident, they bend. Welding seems do not crack if made properly. Frame can be straightened w/o welding and it is safe to ride.
To find out if I am right or wrong we just need to call several bike frame shops and ask them simple question:
Do you reweld seems after straightening frames or not?If frame straightening was leading to accidents frame businesses wouldn't exist.
Of course I have to say that if frame repair is done wrong by somebody who doesn't understand how to do it, it can be unsafe for rider.

He didn`t come here to ask questions, he came here to brag about his skills as a car mechanic. And to argue. TROLL

Duh,.... THAAT is why the wrecked bikes sell so cheap? Maybe? Ya think????? There are no shortcuts in life! If it were easy, the wrecks would sell for more moola.
I still think you are just trying to slap something together for resale (judging by your own comments) and that is equivalent to fraud. Be easy on the guy, just steal his wallet or burglerize his house. Don't give him a frame that might kill him someday. Dam I hate scammers.

Dealerships are doing with frames exactly what they know about frames- if it is bent-cut neck off and scrap frame!
Dealerships know about frame repairs as much as any blond does! Nothing!
Now it is time to say that I know nothing about bike frames. Well, that is true but considering my auto frame repair knowledge I know 100 times more that dealerships do!

If dealerships knew nothing about bent frames, then perhaps they would try to straighten them. Seems that there was a problem with that approach and they chose not to get sued over it? Maybe? Considering the cost of the engineers that do the research,.... I think I'd have to take their word over a hack car mechanics word.
