It's off an XL 250...amazing how ductile the aluminum is.....don't know if it would bend back without breaking..not trying.. Looks good the way it is..(not sure why the tape is on it..)

I figured the tape was holding it together. ;D I had one from my CR that was bent at bit over 180*, but never had one bent that far. :o

Most levers I have tried to straighten broke but I did not use any good heat.

Looks like a good way to get your finger snagged in it and promptly ripped off going over a bump. Make sure you ride with a couple ziplocs, one full of ice ;)
