Managed to bend the stabilizer bar on my 1200 some time ago. 
Bend it straight, just so it could bend again - guess metal fatigue as Honey was well on her way to 130k km's.
Eventually decided Fcuk this and bought a new one ± R1700 :dousing:
Then last weekend in Sep the "new" one also bend, so metal fatigue it couldn't be as the new bar had hardly done 15k km's.
Bend it straight and then had a look at the bar on the Eishpee :deal:
Couldn't be too dificult to make:
Pushed the rubber bush out of the previouslt fcuked one and used that for my new design
....added a bit of paint and here's the end result, fitted. Doubt this one is going to bend for no apparent reason
