Yeah - I figure it happened when I was backing into a spot down a bit of a hill and dropped the bike to the left. No damage (or so I thought). Looks like the bar took the force. I'll have to mess with it more this winter. If I can't get it straight I'll have to look at a new one.

Curt - any idea if these lowers will work with the Cobra bar? I kinda like the look of that thing.

If you have the Yamaha Big Bar then they will work with the Cobra bar as well.

Re:4 all with My Lowers 11 Months ago  
I will make you a replacement set for $36.00 Guess I need to put a warning that with the big bars you should check to see if the bar is bent before taking the front end to full stop.
