Hi, posting after a long time. I met with accident....a dog came infront causing me to crash. Got the bike repaired through honda dealer workshop via insurance....but the handle bar seems cross and my left hand gets stressed while riding...see photos. Can anyone help me how to rectify...... getting it done from workshop takes a lot of time . Thanks...

Park the motorcycle so the righthand side of the front wheel is against something solid like the corner of a building. Then turn the bars to the right hard and repeatedly until it straightens out. If that doesnt work then you need to loosen the fork tube securing bolts and allen screws on the triple clamps and do the same procedure. Dont loosen them off fully though or the forks will pop through the clamps! Re-tighten once everything is aligned.

It's difficult to see if there is permanent damage that requires parts replacement until things are loosened and allowed to re-align themselves. The entire front end needs to be loosened so it can move. There's more to be realigned than the handlebars... they're just the most obvious.
Here's a well explained how-to video.
