Giant Dents in Pipes below shocks
« on: July 25, 2010, 09:28:59 PM »

Took my saddlebags off today and discovered a giant dent on each pipe right underneath my shock.  Could this be from my bike bottoming out if the shocks aren't set correctly?
Wonder if they'll cover under warranty?

Pretty sure pipes are clearanced (dented) from the factory so they don't make contact during normal operations.

I noticed the same thing.  Asked the dealer and confirmed they are indeed made that way.
