Default Oops

Long story short i flipped my ATV at out hunting camp and bent the left handlebar about an inch down or so?? someone has to have had this problem so I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to bend it back.

Thanks.

it will work fine with just a little bend but if u bend it like 6 inches it will probably brake.

I don't think them bars will break from that little bit of bending ! You would have to do a lot of bending on it to break!! Are the bars DOM or something comparable to it !!??

I often thought about a nice set of custom oak handle bars for the quad, that would be sweet!
