Loving the country roads in Australia and have ridden gravel and many water crossings with Livewire with no issue. At the end one caught me out as it had to many warning signs. Going to slowly through a slippery water crossing had me just fall over with the bike. Enough the sreiourslu bend the handlebars, make the front brake mushy and scratch some other bits and pieces.
Aside of having the cosmetics addressed, I want to get back riding ASAP. Seems it it is hard to get either original or potentially better after market bars for the LW.
Will enventually source all the other bits but has anyone a generic product number so I can order either HD or after market replacement?

Harley dealer in Sydney not helpful at all.....

So I bent my handlebars as well riding off road. I ordered a new handle bar and will weld a crossbar onto it. I didn't dig too much into finding a different handlebar size, but I'm sure there are some aftermarket bars that would fit.
