Does this look bent?

Maybe it's just me, or the angle of the shift arm that makes it look this way, but it seems that in looking at my left foot peg, it just appears a bit off angle, or possibly bent. This is on my mid control 09 FXDB. Below are pics. Can anyone just take a look at their ride and tell me if it looks the same, or if I have some issue here. Pics also welcome if possible. I am the only owner of the bike, so I can say it was never dropped:

The thing I look for is the relationship between the Shifter peg and the foot Peg. They should be very close to parallel. Your foot peg looks like it's going Slightly back and the Shifter looks slightly forward.

I would think both would not even be noticed if they weren't going in the opposite direction.

It does appear to be bent.…or maybe it's a natural curve. Lol

Swap the left and right pegs and see if the same issue exists.
