The frame and fork damage reflect a front end collision involving the wheel. There's an excellent chance the bars were never subjected to any meaningful impact.

BTW- if after reading this post you change your mind and decide to keep the bars, please don't blame me if they fail.
No way, man--you're on the hook for anything that happens to me.

Could you PM me your contact information so I can share it with my lawyer when the time comes?
