Turning the bar around would also make it somewhat difficult to adjust, since the allen-head end will now be somewhere just inside of the windshield. I've heard of welding broken bars back together (Don Steger), and reproduction of this part kind of falls into the same paradigm as the left front fenders. There are more parts-cars every day, and this is NOT a particularly high failure rate part. No one will invest in reproducing them until there is enough pent-up-demand AND lack of used parts to sell a large enough quantity at the initial production run to recover the investment. At least no one with any business sense, and this includes most of the current major vendors.
