A recent roll over left me with some bent handlebars. Any good tricks to straighten them out?
thanks,
Steve

 

Take a long metal pipe and slip one side over the grips and lift up.I bent my bars and this worked like a charm.

 

junk them and buy a set of renthals, i rolled mine 2 times really bad and the renthals never bent, my steering stem is another thing..haha

 

buy a pair of moose handlebars. they only cost 15 buck's and look pretty good.

 

I would get a set of O'Neal Prolocks. I have had a few pair of Renthals and always bent them also. Now I run O'Neal Prolocks and have had no problems! Plus, O'Neals are usually cheaper than the Renthals.

 

I know this is pricy but i bought a pair of azonic handle bars. there is no way i will bend them, but they cost $100, but like hte other guy said on a 400ex the steering stem is the week link. I put mine on its side, didn't bend the stock handle bars(they are really cheesy) but it bent the hell out of the steering stem. HOpe this helped

 

just get renthals..they will never be straight again..and they will bend back

 

In some cases it is better to with a less expensive carbon steel bar.Especially if you don't wear a chest protector. I've seen guys get broken ribs after making contact with "unbendable" bars like Renthals.
Something to think about.
