So I bought phoenix HIC suicides from muse phoenix about 2 days ago it arrived in a very poorly handled and created 2 piece cardboard flab "box".
Apparently as soon as i started riding i noticed the left handlebar was bent inwards about 2-4 degrees.
I need help fixing this as I cant ride this... I honestly dont know if it was her or ups, but please help me either give me tips on how to bend the other bar so that the backsweep is equal, or help me by telling me how to bend them forward.
Thanks!

its hard to tell in pictures. but heres my best description.

Left handlebar is like 8 degrees backsweep. Right handlebar is notmal backsweep like 5 or whatever.
So its like bent backsweep wise into me about 3 degrees ONLY the left handlebar the right one is fine...
Could i just use a rubber hammer and bend it back?

well i doubt it was muse, for one shes legit and tbh she probably didnt ride them long enough to bend them.

put the in a vice and bend them however you have to. my only advice i can give you.

BUMP please help, would phoenix replace this cuz i think it was the backsweep thats way off, theres no way you could bend it like that by yourself. dont bars usually bend downwards?

put the downtube of your bars in a vice, then get a long screwdriver or something similar and put it in your bars and pull it in the direction you want to bend it.
and it was probably ups' fault

Ok flat head screwdriver and just stick it in the handlebar hole and bend the way i want it to go? And how much force should i put, mainly on the flat head part or all around?

Well if your worried about fucking up a part you won't be able to fix it.

And if it's already bad enough for you to ask people you don't know to help you, then how could you make them worse?

Put them in a vice, not to tight so you don't squash the cross bar, and bend them with a mallet or by bending them with a bar or something.

Try to find a piece of Long Pipe that fits over the bars and bend them slowly to match the other side.

The Longer the pipe the easier it will be since it will provide more leverage.
