I picked up a atv that has a bent steering stem. Its bent toward the end. You think a place like Northeast would be able to bend it back with some heat or something?

nope, its not even worth it. It makes that spot so weak once it will bend again with just a landing

If you can get it strait I would cut the stem, insert some solid stock and weld back together, stronger and never have to worry about it again.
