Straightening gear lever
I came off today and the gear lever got bent right back to where it was touching the footpeg. I kicked it out just enough to be able to ride back home and now want to bend it back to its original shape. I'm a bit concerned though about it breaking from metal fatigue and wondered if there is a technique for reducing the stress on the metal. I've checked the weld and shaft with a magnifying glass but couldn't find any hairline cracks so I'm hoping it will be ok and save me £30 something on a new one. Thanks guys.
