    Seat is crooked, can't figure out why...

    The left side of the seat is rubbing on the tank. Everything looks normal.
    Can't figure it out. I wouldn't care if it weren't wearing a hole in the paint.
    Will take a picture in the morning.

    If nothing is bent and everything is bolted on straight, perhaps your tank has swollen.

    Check for out of place cables or such under the seat. If everything isn't tucked in as it should, the seat may be resting on something and not aligned properly.


    Sorry you think it's intolerant of me to not tolerate your intolerance.

    - Don't go where trouble is likely to find you.
    - Some people attract trouble. Don't associate with them.
    - If you're minding your own business and trouble finds you anyway, do what it takes to de-escalate and walk away.
    - If walking away isn't a viable option, consider running.
    - If you have considered and/or exhausted all of your other options and you must fight to defend yourself, fight to kill.

    Thanks guys. I'll have another look and take some measurements of the tank.
