    Somehow, I've bent the top clamp that holds the handlebars on.
    I've put it in a vice, heated and beat the crap out of it, still cannot get it flat. It rocks corner to corner about 3/16" when placed on a flat surface.(anvil) I get my lower mounts adjusted good and straight and soon as I bolt the warped top clamp on, it pulls everything crooked.

    Any ideas on how to straighten one?
    A source for a new one?
    A source for a stronger aftermarket piece?

    Thanks in advance

    That's mighty generous of you.
    Guess I shoulda mentioned it's the one piece type from an 06 TE 510.
    Be happy to pay you for it, got some fork seals from you a coupla weeks ago. Wish I woulda found you folks earlier on, it would have saved me some dough on parts.

    I've cut the middle out of mine. This way they are independent of each other.
