Was unloading the KFX and i forgot my cheapo "anti theft" device was still on there.....
(a masterlock padlock through the holes on the rear rotor.)
Yea, lame i know, but i havent gotten anything better yet.

It kinda pushed under the stock plastic skidplate and i caught it before it turned so far as to hit the caliper.
So i put it on blocks to see if it looked bent, and i noticed just a hair of movement of the caliper.
(see lame video...LOL)

Does this look normal?
Trouble is i never looked at it like this before, so i dont know if it was this way or not. ? ? ? ?

looks good to me bro... the wave rotor might be messing with your eyes a little bit... you should be able to feel if its bent when you hit the back brakes though

If it was bent you would feel it pulsating when you're on the brake. I wouldn't worry about it if you can't feel anything.

it is slightly bent, you can see the caliper moving. you probably wont notice it when riding but might cause your pads to wear more quickly or unevenly.
