nothing is bent, prob just the way the picture looks. The bigred metal tank was leaking on both sides along the seams. I still have the tank. I had to use a whole can of carb cleaner just to get the gas leak stains off the motor. So I put a plastic clarke tank on it because i do 40+ mile trail rides in Tennessee so I didn't want to restore that bike and then worry about messing anything up. The bigred has some stitches on the left rear fender too. Its a clean rider but not nearly close to the shape of the 350. I still love riding that bike and the look on peoples faces when they see my 25 year old bigred pass up their new 4x4's and Rhino's at Windrock!!
