Crossbones steering head pictures

Could a few of you fellow Xbones owners take a pic of your steering head for me. On the side stand, with the bars to the left. Take a pic from the right side. I just noticed my top and bottom plates seem to be at an angle from the steering head and am not sure if this is normal. I've highlighted my concern area.
Thank you

Mine looks like that too. I think that's how they reduced the rake on the crossbones (rather than make adjustments to the frame - this way they're able to still use the same frame across most of the softail line).

My brother has an 09 crossbones and the angles are exactly the same I spent alot of time looking at them this weekend when I put 16" apes on it.

I just installed a 7.5 degree rake on mine last weekend, it makes the Bones front end look much better & dropped it almost 2". I did not like the stock front rake as it looks like you ran into a wall.
