Tap it with a hammer! I flattened both my bumper mounts and wrecked my (facing the front of the quad) left hand upper bumper mount to the point that the frame is torn open and pinched shut. My bumper now is held on by ZIP TIES! Ah the things I do for the ladies. Dodged my friend Ashley on her 660 when she locked it up on a trail right around a corner and then.....Hello Mr. Maple Tree! The WHOLE front end is all kinds of messed up, cant even install my lower skid plate anymore. But the one mount I did save I beat with a mallet back into place. But that broke off last week after a year of it doing its job. ( Another Story)

Your damage looks almost idential to my wife's, but her bumper was a little worse.  Here's what you do...

1. Take the top two bolts out of the bumper.
2. Muscle the bumper back into alignment.
3. Tap the upper bumper mounts back into alignment with a hammer.
4. Reinstall top two bolts.

My wife's clutch lever looked like that too.  I just bent it back into position with my hands while still on the trail.  You can't even tell that she tried to make a pretzel out of it.
