[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 155827, member: 563"] Well Im sorry to hear about your spill. Hopefully you mend quickly. If you think the bars are bent even just a little bit. They probably are. You can live with it or replace them. I wouldnt try to bend them back. So either replace them. Or live with it. Ok so your a recreational rider.
