Default bent handlebar?

bike is a 95 f3, recently i've been trying to fix my throttle problem, throttle was refusing to return on its own, bought new cables, adjusted ect, they snap back fine when off the handle bar, so figured my problem is in the housing unit, havent been able to figure it out at all. then a thought occured to me! my right handle bar is bent on a slight curve, is it SUPPOSE to have a natural curve to it or is it damaged from being dropped by PO? i hadnt even thought that could be the issue because it seemed to make sense for ergonamic reasons that the handlebars might be slightly curved on purpose, but the more i look at this the more i'm convinced that its damage and is the reason for my throttle not working properly, any insight would be appreciated! also would i have a fair chance at bending it back out or should i start looking for a replacement? its really not a crazy bend, i'll post a couple pics if it would help!

well i answered my own question in a few short seconds of searching

i'm not sure why i never thought about the bar being bent, i was really thinking it was suppose to be that way. so i guess i'm in the market for a new straight one! are any other years compatible?

Yes, it looks bent too. Any F2 or F3 right handlebar will work. They have the same part number.

yeah, be careful and make sure the used one you buy is straight. As IdoDirt said, that one is bent too.

you may also want to do a search with the keyword clip-on too. Since yours is the throttle side, it would be the right clip-on.

98 Honda CBR 600 F3 Right Handle Bar Clip On 32K | eBay

this one looks straight to me, what do you guys think?

looking at the set up on my bike it looks like this will be an easy swap, just unbolt the brake resevoir and the top of the middle piece and slide the new one on? is it that simple?
