Don't go wheeling or anything like that until you have it recentered again. Driving around town is fine.
I wouldn’t push it around turn either, just to be on the safe side.

Factory front track bar is probably the safest bet. Another alternative could be to find some washers in the correct diameter and stack them on each side to center the trackbar in the mount as it is. Personally I would feel more comfortable torquing it to spec with the factory trackbar installed than onto washers and that trackbar.

Riding with it as pictured would sure make for an exciting commute though!!!
