Looking for a non bent Pilot upper cage

Paint condition doesn't really matter (rusted through does!)

The down tubes are not terribly important

The one I have is slightly bent down on the front right and I'm looking for options before I either fab one up or try and straighten it back out

North San Diego, Southern California

Let me know and thanks,

Mostly all the pikots are bent lol. Its very easy to bend it back. Remove the seat use a piece of steel channel and span the the frame and use a bottle jack and a 4x4 and jack up on the side that's bent down. Leave the cage bolted together and jack it up past where its bent so it will settle to its original spot.

I was hesitant to bend off the frame, possibly making it worse

I'll try this one day and see if it works

The main down tube on the right side is bent out (pushing aft on the tube) a slight amount, from the right front of the roof cage buckling down

The top right corner of the cage is down about .375"~.500"

Thanks
