Took me a while to realize it, but that new PC800 I got has both handlebars bent down slightly. This is no doubt because the dspo, who delivered it to me on a trailer, put the ratchet straps on the handgrips for lack of a better place and cinched them down too strongly. It's rideable and all, but the plastic around the bars doesn't match up now, and worse, my hands are right in the middle of my mirrors, blocking my rear view.
New handlebars are $100+. Ouch. Let me try bending them just a bit. Does anyone have a good idea how I could bend them back up slightly? Put hooks on the ceiling and ratchet strap them up? I was thinking about taking the stuff off the handlebars, slipping a length of pipe on each end, standing on the pegs, and pulling. Except I'm not sure I'm strong enough or that my arms are long enough to add take advantage of the lever action. I also have no such pipe, just some 2-inch PCV left over from when I tapped in some fork seals.If I stand on one side, I risk tipping it over.
