When I bought this 1982 VF45 I knew that it had a few issues and the bent handle bar was one of the issues. The handle bar was bent from when the kid dropped it on its side while getting on it.
Now I am getting around to trying to straitening it out but I need some dimensions to work with from someone that has the same years and a stock handle bar that is not bent.
When Viewed one side is more in (I am presuming this is the side that needs bending out)
Reference to dimensions I used this web site but the chart sizes seem high:

I think they call for a 31" or a 28" width for the bars for a VF45 in the reference area chart, that seems a bit much.
As of now I my bar is: Height - around 5"
Center - about 6"
Width - 24.5" this is the measurement
Any help is welcome
Thanks
