I just noticed that my (factory stock) cans are uneven. The driver's side can is about a half-inch to an inch higher and further away from the bike than the passenger side. I checked the mounting points welded to the cans (look fine) and the cast aluminum can brackets. The brackets appear to be undamaged, but rather designed to be a little uneven. In other words, the difference in location appears to be intentional, designed into the cast exhuast can brackets. And no, my bike has never been down. No wrecks/drops whatsoever.
Are everyone elses' cans mounted like this? Now that I notice it, they look kinda crappy mounted this way, and it's bugging me.
