One of the most important parts on a dirt bike is a foldable gear lever. The CRF250L has a rigid one only, so I got this ultra light one that will fit a YZ 250.
Problem is that it stands about 10mm proud from where I want it to be. It is super light and super strong - almost spring metal.
Can it be bent? Perhaps by heating it up and then bending? It needs to be 10mm closer to the casing.
