Don´t think it has ben bent. Not right, but if i turn the wheel around and put the brake on the right side, wouldn´t everyting be in order then? Just a thought..

Can't believe this subject is still being discussed. The wise words from those who are long term owners seem to be being ignored. How many times does one have to say that the torque arm is wrong for the bike and the simple solution is buy the correct one for the year! Turning the wheel around makes it even more incorrect.

The reason for the wheel being turned around in the last picture is because the torque stay is on that side as it's from an earlier model and the short torque arm is fitted in tension.
