Author Message   Ros Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 10:04 am:        A year a go I've been involved in an accident, so when I hit the ground I bend forward 1cm the right handle of the clubman handlebar. Near the soldering point can be seen a few lines of clear metal, very thin lines. So can be straightened or better find a new one?   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 08:33 pm:        I think they're chromoly steel, not aluminum. So...with heat and patience, you should be able to straighten it.   Avc8130 Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 08:40 pm:        Give it a shot. If you mess up it's like $60 from Buell. ac   Al_lighton Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 10:20 pm:        They're aluminum. I've drilled the last section deeper to mount bar ends, and it wasn't steel I was drilling into. Toss 'em.

If they let loose while you're riding it will definitely get your attention...   Jgarner99 Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 11:10 pm:        Metal gets weaker when you bend it. But it gets way, WAY weaker when you try to bend it back. Ever talk to somebody who's had a handlebar break off in their hand? It doesn't happen when you're just putting down the street; if it breaks, it'll happen at the worst possible moment.... Too much at risk. Buy a new one.   Ros Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 04:01 am:        Metal gets weaker when you bend it. But it gets way, WAY weaker when you try to bend it back.

I'm trying to bid on eBay, crossing fingers. Thanks again
