Replace it. They are 12 bucks from the Honda Stealer. Although, it does look funny all curled up like that!!! Maybe if you have long skinny fingers it might be okay.......Why dont you replace them with those nice coloured ones that match your paint scheme?

I think that pig was supper for some poor family in Cuba! And probably dead..............

I'd buy a new one, leave it in the package and then try to fix your gnarled pretzel. Fix works, run it and keep yout NOS as a spare. Fix doesn't work, install NOS and run it ... for CBR trips to get hot yummy pretzels.

Actually, on second thought, I'd run it as is.

My right clip on has been bent for 30,000kms. And I don't plan on fixing it anytime soon.

The end of my clutch lever points straight ahead, huge bend. I actually like it. I don't think its supposed to be this way, but I don't have another to compare it to.

Actually, the Clutch lever is $12, the Brake lever is $20. It's not much of a difference. I think I'd keep it bent like that, I think it looks like a musical note .

Hey, Idodirt maybe we could persuade Jules to bend the other side to suit, and she'd have 2 "notes"......probably high notes, tho' - she's a girl after all...
