Need Heritage quick answer please
I'm helping a friend look at a used 2012 Heritage and I've noticed something but don't know what it's suppose to look like. I'm looking at the small bracket on the frame where the TOP of the crash guard bolts on. This one is not flat. It sticks out toward the front of the bike. Is this correct or has this bike possibly been in an accident. I couldn't make it to Harley today to check it out. Can anybody enlighten me please?

I'm not sure I would assume it was in an accident, it could have been modified for some other purpose.
In any case I'm pretty sure it should be flat.
Attached is a pic of my 2009 Heritage.
I don't thing this is any different than a 2012 model.
For some reason the picture won't post, but below is a link to my garage where I put the photo.

If the owner hit something with the crash bar, It will cause the top mounting plate to be pulled out forward. I was assaulted by a large green thermos bottle that hit the right side of my crash bar on my 09 heritage. Pushed the crash bar around half way under the floorboard. It bent the bottom right mounting point of the crash bar. Pulled the top plate out almost 3/8 inch, because of the rotation of the crash bar . Took a hammer to flatten the top mounting plate back. Have had no problems with it since
