A hammer and the garage floor....lol!! I put shrink wrap on it to hide the dents. I got rid of the idler cable too! If you hit it to much and the cable isn't loose just turn it and know the kink out, yes I did that...lol! But 18k miles with this set and still works great.

Haha I actually un bent mine with a home made pipe bender, lol I believe it was the axle remover from my r6... It straightened it enough for the cables to work... Throttle side has tons of slack, the idle gets real tight on full left, but we rarely turn the bars that far anyway so I think it'll suffice lol just wondering how others did it... Plus side with the way I did it.. I never took it off!

Yea others heckled me when I did because it not normal I guess, but whatever. They can spend the unnecessary money to keep the 90 degree bend. And like you said we did it and figured it out. And I think that's why I dumped the idle cable, just little tight. Came on here read several people run without it and 5 min later I removed it.

Prior to my install I read your post about taking the idler cable off... Thought about it and I just dot think I'm ballzy enough to do it like that haha knowing me, I'd prob forget to throttle off.. LMFAO. But anyway.. different strokes for diff folks right.. It works so why need to change!?! Lol
