I have my bike back after being stolen for a year, and only the second time I get on, I get knocked off 100 yards from where I live.

At least I got a sweet, manly loking battle scar! Actually it's just a small scab. Anyway...

My lil' GS500 needs new handlebar now, do I fit the suzuki one? or what other options do I have?

Thanks.

Makes sure the forks haven't also been twisted in the yolks. Easily done if the handlebars have taken a hard knock. Losen the lower yolk bolts (not the top aswell or the bike will come crashing down Wink ) and gently rock it back and forth. The forks will spring back into allignment.
