Hi all
Was out green laning with Sky God and a mate when I took a tumble (my own learning opportunity!
) and in the process managed to significantly bend my 2008 GSA engine bars on the side that went down (nearside).
It was a relatively low-speed impact on soft-ish ground with some harder stuff under the mud, but I was surprised how much they bent.
The question is, are other aftermarket bars more able to soak up this abuse without damaging the mounting points?
My concern is that as a result the bar did some minor damage to the protector plate covering the head, and some marks are also visible on the head itself.
Should I just bend it back or replace them with something more able to take this sort of stick given that I'm currently planning on doing more off road work?
Thoughts appreciated.
