I took my stock bike out to a trail and found a branch in the brush at 15-20 MPH. I caught it in the shoulder and it sent me a good 10 feet and the bike went right into the dirt. After the initial body check (on both the bike and myself) and punching the controls back to their original spots, I headed home.
On the ride home I noticed that my right hand was lower and closer. It would make sense considering the bike landed with the front tire to the right. I rode it the 10 miles home and noticed only the different hand position.

Now for the main question: What else should I check? I think only the handlebars are bent but I don't know anything.

 

Well, any handlebar can bend, but the stocker isn't the best at off road abuse. I'd recommend getting a higher quality aftermarket bar as a replacement. After installation go for a ride to insure that your fork isn't tweaked. On what kind of handlebar?...people might recommend a particular brand, but honestly you have to decide the bend, height, and sweep that suits you best.

 

I choose a mid height enduro bar. To "me" this felt perfect. Not to high well sitting on the seat, and when I needed to stand during the trail riding I was able to reach and control everything well keeping a balanced position slightly over the bars.

It's a preference thing though, what's comfortable for me, or another rider might feel terrible to YOU. So head to a shop and see what they have. You may need to test out a few bars sadly till you find that "perfect" setup.

If you don't handguards already, install a set. They will protect your hands, levers, and bars a bit.

 

be ready to replace with longer cables if you go with anything higher than stock....

 

I've had the bike for 1500 miles and have done maybe 20 miles on horse trails but nooooooooooooooooooooo have to avoid the deep mud because I'm in a walking boot and get all smashed... I appreciate the input, I'm going to head to a shop in town when I get a chance. Is there any long term wear damage I can do driving with a bent fork, if it is indeed bent?

 

From the description of your crash, it sounds like the handlebar dug in and bent...very common. To bend a fork you have to really smack something big time with the front wheel that just about brings the bike to a stop from some decent speed...like a tree...or the bike cartwheeling...etc. And, your front fork/wheel might have a little tweak that is not a bent fork...just a little triple clamp and fork loosening to realign...but not necessarily or likely to be bent fork tubes.

 

Agreed, that's why I like adjustable risers coupled with a good quality bar. That combo will give you a rigid bar that'll stand up to dumps, and also give you the ability to fine tune the fit to your particular body, bike, & riding style.

 

Exactly what happened. So it's fine to ride until I get it fixed then. It's only off an inch or two. Noticeable, but not crippling.

 

Most of the aftermarket bars are a little bit wider than the stock bars, which is annoying for a smaller person like me (5'7"). Mine are about an inch wider, which doesn't seem like it would make much difference, but I'm convinced it contributes to shoulder fatigue on long rides.

One of these days I will take a hacksaw to mine and shorten them down to stock length, but haven't gotten around to it yet...

 

on my protaper bar, had it custom bent slightly to fit better and if you can see i have throttle and control positioned inside the handlebar more....i basically have 3/4" on both ends sticking out..i was going to cut it, but thought i'd keep it as my "bar ends" for protection and it's worked out fine on drops....
