This picture is back from 2009. I was going through some older photos of my mp3 and noticed from that photo that the front end exterior tubing and associated plastic is quite a bit off center and over to the right as you can see. It's not the angle of the shot. I verified that it's really like that...

Has anyone else noticed the same thing on their 500? Not a big deal I suppose, I just can't believe it took me 4 years to notice!

the windshield bracket is what I take your referring to. that should be able to be corrected. whomever installed the windshield didn't check it.

My take - the wheels aren't facing forwards...
