After working on the Sportster this morning I decided to go for a ride up Wyoming's Battle Pass Scenic Byway. Got up to the Continental Divide and it started raining and sleeting. (It can snow any day of the year here) Turned around and hit rain and hail in the valley. Still got in a nice 72 mile ride.

I would bend that back with a vise or possibly a very strong c clamp .

Thanks, already done and put a little over 300 miles on it since. I’ve had a dedicated thread about that issue. Oh in my case it was propane torch and 4lbs dead blow hammer.

Just back from a 2 week trip.

Did Sturgis for a few days, then Route 66 from Chicago to LA.

Did about 7500 miles for the whole trip.

The last day was a hard push to get home and did just shy of 900 miles in 14hrs.

Good times...good friends.
