Default Bent neck on FLHX

I purchased an 08 street glide a few years back from a guy and after paying for the bike and getting the title I noticed it was a salvaged bike, which isn't an issue, but I have noticed that the neck of the bike is twisted. Anyone know of places that sell a stock replacement neck for harleys, not wanting a rake kit. I don't want to spend thousands to buy a new frame through HD. Any help is appreciated.

Ugh, yes, it is an issue...

This is why a salvage titled bike is an issue, you bought a bike that has a wrecked frame, and who knows where the rest of the parts on that bike came from, other wrecks, floods etc.

There is no such animal as a stock replacement steering head, only a stock replacement frame...

Even if you buy a new frame, you will still be stuck with the salvage title.

There are several frames on Ebay, however the '08s are a one-year only bike and I'm not sure how different an '06-'07 will be. Those are certainly much cheaper than a new frame!

They sell new frames at the dealer; they just have a bunch of new parts attached to them
