[TN-Rider]

Mine went straight down on the left side as I was lowering it to the side stand, which was not down. The bike was too far over before I realized I forgot to put it down. I just did not have the strength to recover it. So I got my leg out of the way, and I was still on the seat. I was amazed at how easy the install went. The left side bar flexed into the tank just enough to put about an eighth inch depression. When I bent the bar back out, the movement came from the rear flat mounting area and not the area of the bar that had bent in. The mounting bolt up points near the radiator are what bent in. The only way to get them back out would be to remove it, most likely heat it and bend it in a vice. I am just not that disturbed with it to attempt the fix. My plan is to not go down on the left side! I did watch that video on the MT crash bars and thought it impressive.
