Adam Apex June 29th, 2009, 04:48 PM Right at the main bend on the left side, there is a bend that looks like it was an accident. Like it isn't supposed to be there. I freaked as well when I saw it. :D Purspeed June 29th, 2009, 05:58 PM Somebody, anybody post a pic...... Grn99Kawi June 29th, 2009, 07:12 PM I have one.. will upload it tomorrow for ya. M June 30th, 2009, 11:16 AM There is a slight bend. Snake June 30th, 2009, 02:07 PM Looks exactly like mine so it must just be the way it is designed. Apex June 30th, 2009, 04:44 PM Yeah the bend is about 5 or so inches towards the engine from the chain guard mount by the rear sprocket. That one is normal. :) tamikam July 1st, 2009, 02:54 PM Sorry for asking for help, then taking forever to post pics. Here they are!
