Default bent grab bar

the other day i was wheeling though some fields standing on the grab bar and i went a little too far so it hit the ground softly. i just pushed it over and kept riden normally. when i got home i noticed it was bent up a couple inches and looks really retarded.i took it off and tried a bunch of stuff to fix it. malet, sledge hammer, i even ran over it with a car to straighten it out but nothing worked. any ideas or should i just get a new one. it was just the stock one.

i did the same thing so i had to make the hole in the back a little bigger .i tightend up the front bolt then pushed it in the right place then thightend the back ones. it wont take too many more and if it hits the ground youll have to loosen it and push it back in place.

take it to a local welding shop and ask the guy there to straighten it

Flip it over and put in back on, go wheelie and it will straighten it self out. I would just buy and aftermarket on from PRM someplace like that. The stock ones are weak and wil end up braking

For personal experience I would just get a New One, I bent mine just a little and then on a wheelie went to far again and I broke the grab bar and busted the tail light and broke off screws in my header and now I have to pay to get them tapped out so imo get a new one you will only make it weaker by bending it back to its orginal shape
