Looks like you've run into something solid and your front forks are bent back t'me. Or is it an optical illusion?

Shawthing's right, it looks odd. Has it been run into a wall?

I'd say the massive scrapes on the RHS fairing and the mirror are part of that damage.

A decent fence might do that though...

Yeah the first pic of just the LHS it just looks a bit off but the forks were well bent due to a vauxhall astra with a driver who's eyes are painted on. Then it fell hard and slid a little on the RHS. Crash bungs worked a treat though, engine purrs as it should
