I was tinkering again... and discovered that the left-front turn signal sits farther out from the bike than the right-front turn signal. By a bit more than a half inch!!!!!

I noticed this after mounting my auxiliary lights to the top of the turn signal mounting arms. It throws off the balance since now my auxiliary lights aren't symmetrically located either.

Then I started just sort of looking at the front of the bike and it appears that the radiator surround is also off-center.

So... is my bike deformed or is this typical?

Typical designers must have been smoking their socks and they had some issue's with aligning the centre line of the bike, ask sam when mocking up his new radiator......... had him scratching his balls for a while :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought that's what engineers got £40k a year for plus bonus for turning up at work occasionally :evil: :twisted:
 
So I'm guessing that the "deformity" is common on all the Rocks?

One of the things that drew me to the bike is the asymmetric design but this takes it just a little too far. :)
