Heat'em and bend'em with the box end part of a combo wrench. Take them off first and mount in a vice. A regular cheapo propane torch will work.

Motion Pro sells replacement levers for $6-8 each. I've got at least one spare for each side in my moto toolbox.

Now if we all just had ASV lever's everything would be good.

I never try to straighten them, you'll probably never get it exactly right. I just keep a couple spares. The other option is unbreakable, asv has an outlet store on the big auction site. They are asvinventions on there, I think.

They are hard to get exactly right when bending them, but in a pinch, it's better than not riding!

Outlet store, you say?...

Refurbished and blemished, here is a link that won't work, but you should be able to fix it:

I was already there. I resisted. For now...
