Why would it be a pain to buy new bars?

Its more of a pain to try to fix the old ones, I know, I've tried with 2 different sets. If you really dont want to spend the money, get a torch, a bench vice, and a long piece of steel tubing. If you cant figure out what to do with that stuff, you had better just buy new. They will still never be the same though.

Just get a torch and heat it up where it needs to be bent then pull really hard but slowly and u can get them back to normal i have done it 10 12 times [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i always find a way to bend them wether it be by rolling or other means it happens.

Buy a new one you will get better results when you ride. And save you from experiencing the same problem again.
