Straightening bars?

[phil24_7]

Can I straighten a Heli bar or is this a big no-no.

Got some with my new crash damaged SV but one was bent in the crash, wanna know if straightening it will weaken it at all.

Regards

I'd replace them with a set of straight stock clip-ons, if I had some sitting round my garage doing nothing. Or, if I had two spare pairs of clip-ons, like some people have lying around their garage, I'd sell one set on ebay and fund a new Helibar with the proceeds.

Do Heli offer a straightening service or do they sell single bars??

I'm pretty sure you can buy a single bar. Have you thought about dropping it in to a local engineering shop to see if they can repair it or make a new bar for it?

Nope, never thought of that and as it happens my dad's business partners also own an engineering company! Will have a word with them. Cheers.
