Bike involved in small small small accident, long story short the handle bars are now bent forward and it's pretty much by my knees when I drive, hard as fuck to turn and uncomfortable riding position.
Red circle is the new riding position.

If you have to post for advice, that's a job for a shop
There's a lot of fairly critical bits in there that could have been damaged in ways hard to tell by eye.
off the top possibilities
Bent/cracked/broken triple clamps
bent/twisted fork tubes
obviously bent bars, or twisted in the clamps
brake master cylinder
basically, if you don't know what you're doing, don't fuck around with it.

How will he learn if the advice is "don't even try". Darwin will decide ultimately if he should or should not have. You and I (speculating) have the result of long years of impecunious shed-tinkering - who are we to deny the poor bastard an opportunity to learn?
OP: invest in a manual and a socket set. And a stand that will hold the bike up level. then, you can adjust the bars in the clamps, check for straitghtness (the bike, not you - I have no idea about you but you did buy a cruiser so....) and generally have a play with it.
OTOH tools you might find useful: a 3/8 inch drive socket set, some screwdrivers. duct tape. zip ties (because duct tape and zip ties... even if you just decide to murder a hooker).
Get stuck into it.

Bent back you mean......
Makes it more sporty - probably goes faster now.
Are they bent or just lowered back in the clamps - undo the bolts and move them back up then retighten.
So how did it happen?

...are the bars bent or have they just moved in the clamp...sounds like you need a 12mm spanner...really...

In other news, a rider was killed today riding a heavily crash damaged bike.

See if there is some kind of "Fag Frolics" forum you can find..
But don't be sooking it up, anyhow.. that "shit'll buff out"..
