Hi. I recently made a small straightening jig. I am really enjoying the versatilaty of this little gadget. I have a much larger straightening table but its primary function is to straighten frames. The size of my frame table makes it unweildy where as this small jig is easy to move around and work with. I have made some fixtures for holding swingarms and will showcase a couple of swingarms that I straightened.

This swingarm had a few issues. The right side tube was bent upwards. The rear section of the right axle slide had been bent during the trauma of whatever accident it was involved in. Aside from the right tube being bent, the right axle carrier has also been bent at the end of the round tube, causing the axle slide to rise.
The following picture shows that the front section of the axle carrier is straight to the jig, but when a rule is placed on the axle slide it shows that it runs away from the edge of the jig. Meaning that the bend is in between the hole (unknown use) and the axle slide.
