Default Spots

Any body elsespotted that the gap between the headlight and the 2spots is unevenone side is further over than the other, my mate has a deluxe and his is the same as my Heritage, you can get 2 fingers between one side but not the other, had my bike four years and never spotted it, but it bugs me now

Maybe they are not lined up right. Should be able to twist them around a little to get them straight. Or just leave them alone because you havn't noticed them in four years anyway. Mine are even.
