Richard, What did you go with for the upgrade?
I would be able to straighten the foot peg/brake arm if I had a vise, but unfortunately I am in the middle of a move and probably won't have a viable workspace even if I had one.
try putting it on a hard flat surface (concrete driveway?) wrap in rags so it doesn't scratch and do some poundin with a hammer to flatten it back the direction you want it. Don't pound hard enough to crack the concrete. Just tap it to where you need it. Sounds pretty redneckish but I've straightend some things pretty darn well this way. I don't have a vise either
ahh if you were down here i have plenty of vises, not just beer and women either. My main thing if it wasnt bad would be getting it close to perfect, if its bad, get it to a rideable point to get by for a bit then replace it with either OEM or an aftermarket. If its kinda bad i would just do what Ry recommends with a hammer on some concrete, unless you have patience to wait until you can fix it better or properly. I grew up Trail riding dirtbikes so am used to rednecking things to get by for a bit then fixing later (back then it was on a hurricane day or when trails were flooded too bad).
That's the kind of advice I can appreciate.GOOD LUCK! if you hear a snap, you've bent it too far....
