May I ask how that happened?
Has it always been like this or was there something that caused it?

Are these differences in angle a result of a crash or skewed camera angle or something?

Pretty vague so far?

What are you trying to say?

You bought it that way or you bent it that way?

There is no way to bend something this way. This is the way it was made. Dave had my pilot for over a month. The wheel base is off by over a inch on the two sides. Even after one of the front A Arms bent. Ive only ridden this thing one time sence dave finished it.

To make this worse look at the other end or the arm. I took a picture of both close up

That arm does look odd its not at all like the other.

Other than the looks how does it perform or work, looks like the one arm needs done over to match the other side, how are the shocks and their performance?

Was this shipped or a local pickup?

Look at the last rear end pic,the RHS upper,inner,joint is WAY more down Vs the LHSide.
This sits the pilot down on the RHS.I can only imagine how one sided the landings must be,obviously down on the RHSide.

I'm still confused.(not hard to do!)

Did you pick this thing up in the dark?

Did you bend it and just don't know it?

Why did you accept it without an explanation from Dave?

Thanks Chris, not once did you say you were unhappy about your pilot, not once. I made you a new front arm you tell me your coming to get it and never did. Ball joint bind hu???you know very well there was no ball joint bind, we cycled the rear end countless times and there was no ball joint bind seams you were very happy with the wheel travel you got, and the way it performed! I did it the way you wanted it done bar for bar. I made the rear arms on the pilot much wider than any other at your request, we both know your frame is bent, 1 inch is nothing on a bent pilot. The grass is greener there go for it. Some friend you turned out to be, I would have bent over backwards to make you happy, but I am not a mind reader. Communication goes a long way and you did none.. I am not perfect,good luck. By the way how many times did you filp your pilot? and run into something. The arm is still here. I told you when you were in my garage I missed on that angle as I said I made the arms on the pilot by hand, your exact comment as long as it worked who cares. I told you about it and said I would make another and you said no its fine. I made the mistake you were good with it til now. Thanks again for giving me a chance. By the way that angle being off has no effect what so ever on how the pilot rides or performs its just a different angle. I made a mistake you were told. Can I take the knife out of my back now?
