Not sure about andy's and pete's answer they sound a bit strange
The dent is caused by a poorly fitted exsaust which clashes with the arm and is on the opposite side to your picture above.

Can't see it, I've not got my sunglasses on.
That's better, there it is.
It does look nice, hope the fitting goes well.

what yorkshires finest thinks is a dink caused by a a poorly fitting exhaust is a mere graze..... the dent us old farts refer to is a proper one.....

No I have seen a graze on a swingarm. And I have seen a big "dink" on another.
Both are caused by a poorly fitted exsaust. Obviously one more out of line than the other.

If that kind of dent is caused by a badly fitted exhaust, there are some fitters that need shooting

Probably
Think on it jay - most people fit the exhaust while the suspension has no load...... Hence the graze
