You bent them on your 696? or another monster?

i bent the left one on the wreck last year.

So did you report it to your insurance or not?  I'm basically in the same boat, and I don't know if I should claim it (which would most definitely lead to totaling the bike) or just try and adjust the screw or bend the stop back.

I'm really torn about it.

well mine was a majorly different situation. I totalled it, it had no top triple intact, no rim, bent forks, bent bars, etc etc etc.

a bent steering stop and NOTHING else. no way i would report it. cosmetic damage is fixable. Hell what I did to the bike is fixable with the right skill and money (and my sweat)
