Bars crooked

[smordue1]

Day one, I dropped my 2020 R3 GT sitting still in a parking lot, broke the darn mirror. I'm not used to the weight yet.

Now the handlebars seem a little crooked. Is this adjustable, like on a bicycle? Or did I bend the bars?

It went over in slow motion, and the bars seem quite thick, so I would be surprised if that bent them...

The bars are bent.

Darn. Think they can be straightened back out? Or maybe I need to drop it on the other side to even things up

I had to replace bolts that secure handlebar risers to triple tree on one of my bikes after wiping out before, I thought the bars were bent also but found just the bolts were slightly bent. I would check those first.

Good that you got it over with. Now get her straightened, and go ride.

Your location has a number of Rocket captains around -- @cootertwo for example -- one of them might be open to have you drop by for a second set of eyes.

BTW, bars were not bent, stopped by dealer and guy puts steering lock on and gave them a tug back straight. Maybe older models are different. Regardless, happy that the extent of my damage seemed to be the mirror and my pride.

I remember coming home with my brand new Aprilia Caponord. I had a very uneven driveway and after I had parked, I started to walk away and saw her starting to fall. Dived right under her and she fell on top of me. Tiny scratch on the handle bar end.
had to call for help...

I see you had your priorities straight....

Rather than crooked bars, you may want to try a straight bar. Give the Blue Oyster Bar a go.
