Should I try to rebend highway bar or replace it
Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2014 10:20 am
folks,
The other day I banged into a stationary pole with the outer edge of my Linby highway bar. At anyrate, the bar got bent a good bit and at the bottom weld, it cracked. I'd like to salvage the darn thing; if it is possible or advisable. On the other hand, the smart thing might to cut losses and get another highway bar. Or not? If I do replace it, I don't relish spending the $332 + shipping etc.
I am getting opinions on 1) does it make any sense to try to fix the old one? and 2) other types/brands of bars and peg setups. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I would love to hear.
The bike is a 2011 Suzuki Boulevard. c50t
Thanks
