Right hand side

Caused by Mille owners parking their donor vehicles on the horizontal

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.

Nice and shiny. I like shiny.

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

Obviously you know something I don't

Probably

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