Has anyone ever bent the rear ramp due to something being too heavy for it? If so, how did you repair it?

When I pulled the plywood off you could see the square tube frame of the ramp and where they were bent pretty well. I basically used a couple jack stands and a 2x4 to hold the ramp up level to the floor with the wood at the worst part of the bend. Then I stood on the ramp and forced the tubes back to a straight condition. I just used a 4 ft. level as a straight edge to gauge how much to bend and where. When I got it all squared up I welded some gussets in all the corners and reinforced the center tubes with a plate so I could mount the spare to the ramp and riding the Harley up the center would not be an issue. The spare just touches the ground when the ramp is down so it adds more support in that area. Then I insulated and replaced the plywood and installed the diamond vinyl flooring. It closes and seals a whole lot better now.
Hope this helps.
