Is your bar bent?

[Pete Pachota]

Just a quick question, post what type of hadlebars do you have and if the steering column tube is bent. Don't post if your bar is new or something. To check, put the front end of your deck on an even and stable edge of something (table etc) so the front wheel hangs in the air and let the bars spin. I have my bar bent a bit, I thought it's my design that is shitty but then same thing happened to my bro's stock bar, so I wanna know if it's common, and how much does it bend before it breaks.

The only bars I have even bent or broken the steertube on were stock Razor bars but I haven't ridden those in years.

yea.i have broke 1 steertube from going on my kicker.resulting in a fractured arm

 

[maxlikesscooters]

i currently have stock razors...soon to have wees, but mine r not bent....it might be a weight stress on the bars or something

i bent my bars a little after i bolted the steer tube

and thats happened twice, they tend to bend at the bottom, near the fork tube, or at the top, near the t-tube

[maxlikesscooters]

yeah its most likely the trashy stocks

Homemade bars from Yuba City Scrap and Steel. Bent quite badly heh. I have noticed it for a long time. I think it could be the fork causing the problem also which makes it look bent even more. I'm not too sure.
