Hey guys, on the weekend I crash during a grass track, and bent my Pro Taper bars.

Is their any easier ways of 'Fixing', or bending the bars back?.
Use heat or brute force?. Or just fork out The $dough and buy some new ones?
.
Any help would be tops cheers guys.

if you heat them up your weakening the metal, you bend them back, your weakining the metal as well, best idea is to just pay for some new ones

You can't straighten aluminum bars. Once it is bent, aluminum becomes work hardened and brittle.
