Hehe, so true. My left side is bent slightly and I'm used to it but I try I can notice it. I hopped on a friends bike today that I hadnt ridden before and low and behold his bars were so bent I laughed. Just looking down the bike you could see the offset from the front tire, it made turning right really easy...76GMC1500 said:If you ride with the bent bars for a while, you'll just get used to it. It feels weird when you get back on a bike with straight bars. The best part when your friends ride your bike and wonder how you do it because it's so uncomfortable for them.
^I agree 100%. Trying to bend them back is just not a good idea, because the are likely to break at the most unopertune time (such as when you are landing a big jump).Okiewan said:Don't do it. They are weakened and will only get weaker.
Unless you want them to snap and love face-plants, get new bars.
you can bend em back if you really need to, like the folks here say, you want to use heat to bend the aluminum ones back, not a great idea but you def can.76GMC1500 said:Definately can't bend aluminum back.
