Ok so in a moment of distraction, I came within an inch of dropping my bike. I stopped on a just-not-quite-level parking lot and was adjusting my gear when the bike shifted left. I literally caught the bike and dead lifted it back onto it's tires. The only true damage I can see is I broke the 'curb feeler' off the bottom of the left foot peg. Here's where the paranoia kicks in. The only scratch I can find on the bike is the side of the left ground pad for the center stand. However I keep looking and thinking the left passenger peg bracket is now riding closer than the right passenger peg bracket. I cannot find any evidence that it contacted the ground (scratches, cracks in the paint). Does this bracket normally look a little closer than the other? Is it my mind playing tricks on me? I'll probably go up to the dealer tomorrow as they still have another on the floor I can compare it to. Anyone out there confirm I'm just nuts :crazy:before I go look foolish in front of the dealer?:tongue: Thanks. T
I've never noticed a difference in mine. The passenger peg brackets are pretty sturdy and have some flex to them so chances are it is fine if you can't find any marks on it. Take the feelers off... it looks better without them and on the street they will almost never ever touch the ground to let you know you are leaned over that far.
Awwww, go ahead and look foolish at the dealer. Why not. Most dealers regularly look foolish around us. If you don't have them already, FRAME SLIDERS! Are you on your toes when stopped? If so you may want to lower your bike. Flat footed stance really helps avoid those sort of happenings.
