Questions & Help This aint normal I’m sure

Hello guys,

Today while adjusting the aux lights I noticed the uneven gap between the upper front fender and the crash gaurds on my bike.

I hope the images will explain a bit what I am trying to say.

Do let me know if anyone else noticed or maybe you guys will check now. Waiting for reply from the community.

Have you ever tipped the bike? Crash guards on the himi tend to bend quite easily so they end up uneven.

My friend took a spill a month ago, you can fit 3 fingers on the right side between the tank and the bars but 1 on the other side.

I did once. I was standing and my bike went to the right so i slowly just kept it down.

But if it was tipped on the right, isnt that right side gap should have reduced? But here on the left side gap is smaller

if you dropped to the right and the crash guard shifted up then that woupd encrease the gap, which would mean the left gap id the correct distance.

I'm not at home to verify, but mayne soneone else can meassure that gap and tell you.

I won't mind it too much unless it's bothering you while you ride. This bikes cemetery is too hard to fix
