Bubble in my tunnel!

[motojunkie101]

I've been running a Timbersled rear suspension (162) for three seasons now with fairly low miles since I was stationed in hawaii and my rides were limited to when I was home on leave. The problem I noticed this summer is that I have a slight bubble in my tunnel just in front of the Timbersled drop brackets. I know some other folks have had similar issues, but how did you fix it? I'd love to drop a new tunnel on, but its not in the cards this year.

My current train of thought is to take the bracket off, use a 2x4 and a BFH to remove said bubble, throw on some braces, and put the bracket back on. Are there any better ideas out there?

Ii had a similar issue and I found a used tunnel for 50$ in the process of R/R it mine got bent on the trailer from being tied down and large bump on road due to suspension compression and no where for it go I fixed it that way to finish riding last year this year I got a tunnel extension from hartmans that fits over tunnel upto tunnel bracket also has a piece of 1" x 26" flat alumn. For a stiffener under tunnel

Get a hammer and a block of steel behind the wrinkle, beat it flat, than plate the side of the tunnel.

get some drop brackets like the M10 s use . they run the whole way down the side of the tunnel .
