I have only just noticed this but the butt end of my bike seems to have a slight twist in it as it sits at a different angle to the tank , it isn't much but it's bugging me now as the new mini number plate really shows it off . I can't see any signs of damage anywhere but surely this wouldn't happen with age would it ? And are the rear seat frames fairly easy to bend about ?

What bike is it? Either your bodywork doesn't sit properly on the frame! or your subframe has a slight twist in it!

NC29 , looks like the frame may have a slight twist in it

Yeah if the numberplate is wimpy it will be the subframe just see if you can pick another in the bay!

Funnily enough was talking to a new owner of an nc23 the other week and he asked if the sub frames were naturally twisted as his had a twist so he bought another to find the same problem. He then checked out my bike (nc29) and noticed a twist in my sub frame he thought. But honestly myself and a mate were totally bemused over this as no matter how we looked at it the only thing we could see was that the number plate was over to one side slightly by about a half inch, easily corrected by loosening the plate screws. But Im sure if there was a twist it could have just been the plastics but we could not see it.

Mine looks slightly bent to the left.

They are all like this to make putting your left foot on the floor at junctions easier.
