Does anyone have pictures of a 695 from the rear?  I had a mishap where my buddie's bike hit the back of my bike and I'm not sure if one of the cans has been bent (along with the rearset).  They seem to offset, with the left side being closer to the bike than the right side.  I will post some pics of my bike as soon as I finish eating tonight.  I just want to know if I need to take care of something on my bike, or if it has always been like that.  Thanks for any pics, guys.  The night has been weird and bad enough, my buddie's bike got F$%#$ed and I just want to asses anything that happened to mine.

Can't help you with pictures, but find riding buddies that don't attempt stoppies into the back of you.

It was a bad incident.  I can't fully blame him for it, but I just wish it hadn't happened.  Still any pics would be great from anyone else.

Can't you just look at yourself?

The cans and rearsets should be the same distance from the swingarm

No, I didn't go down.  He did and broke off the footpeg and shifter.  I felt a bump but it didn't feel really forceful.  I looked at the cans and they are not exactly the same distance from the swingarm, the left one is closer, but the swingarm is not symmetrical so I wasn't sure if that played a role.  Crap.  Sux.  Frick.

Why isn't your swingarm symmetrical? You are on a DSS, yes? Its two straight bars connected like a U where the shock mounts...

The pipes should be the same-ish distance from the ground at the beginning of the pipe, at the end of the pipe, and horizontally away from the swingarm (better to measure from the frame instead since the pipes are connected to the headers/rearsets, which are connected to the motor which is essentially the frame.)

On my bike, the left side of the DSS angles inward toward the engine, while the right side is just a straight bar.  I've got a couple pics, I'll upload them now.

Notice how the DSS is not totally constructed symmetrically.

don't worry, you'll add more character to it in the future too.

Do you think I am just being way too anal retentive about this?  I went outside and tried to bend the rearset in the direction it seems to need to go, but it really doesn't bend very easily at all.  He must have hit me harder than I thought.  He said for sure he hit my left can, not my wheel.  I guess it's a damn good thing I don't have the Termi's yet, or I might have been really mad.

If you still have the standard rearsets, don't try too hard to bend them back, snap they will.  Undecided
