rear tire alignment toed-in
#1
I've got an '08 AC500. Love the bike and it seems to handle fine, but standing behind it the rear tires are aligned so that they visibly toe-in. Looks kinda strange, ... is this normal ?

if they toe in on the bottom if your shocks are adjusted to the hardest setting.then yes its normal because once you sit on the bike or put some weight on the rear rack it will straighten up. also when you give it gas the weight shifts to the rear and they will straight out. it may also appear this way
