Something wrong with this picture?

[vdoman]

My dealer has been sending me pix at different stages of my F3 LTD Triple Black build. Being a newbie to the :spyder2: , aren't those front wheels out of wack? Shouldn't they both be at the same angle??? :gaah::shocked::dontknow:

Doesn't look right to me.

plus it's hanging from the ceiling. J/k!

 

[Dan McNally]

It could just be the angle at which the photo was taken.

My dealer said it takes 4 hours to put together, how long has it been?

It sorta looks like they haven't connected up the steering arms yet; or maybe they used a wide angle lens to make the bike fit in the pic! pps: :sour:

I wouldn't worry about it at this stage, but when it comes to delivery time, the front wheels should look as tho they are aiming the Spyder in the same direction!

Looks like it'll be a noice Spyder when you finally get it home.... Enjoy, & all the best with your new ride! :firstplace:

It also looks like the front tires are reversed.
Good luck,

Yikes...!!

But they actually don't turn parallel. The more you turn the more they are off. Not an expert on the reasoning for this but mine handles great this way...:dontknow:

Definitely nothing to do with the angle of the photo or how wide the lens is........obviously a steering arm or something not adjusted yet.

I'm surprised something critical like that isn't adjusted during factory assembly:dontknow:

Just make sure it doesn't look that way when you get it. :duh:

The pix is old. About 2 weeks ago.

He's right you know, the front wheels are on the wrong sides & if left that way, will be running backwards to their 'designed' direction of rotation when you are travelling forwards! :thumbup:

Good Catch! :clap:

That could be used for an advertisement for a laser alignment.

DEFINITELY the front tires are on wrong. Reverse travel spin. DO NOT accept it this way and question your dealer.

 

[SpyderRush]

Maybe they are setting it up for Nascar??:banghead:

:agree::roflblack::roflblack: Just so they have it right when you pick it up:thumbup: Anything before that is courtesy pics if its a busy shop, time for them to stop & take a pic is very limited. Surprised no tools, were in picnojoke, but it was from the ceiling:roflblack::roflblack: :clap:

No worries down here, pic looks fine & it's the right way up nojoke

Maybe it was taken on an Aussie camera??!

:roflblack:

There are some funny people out there...........:joke:

It's the steering geometry you're seeing combined with the angle at which the photo was taken.

You can read up about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

The wheels/tires are mounted on the wrong sides and need to be swapped.

i'd have the dealer swap sides on the front tires and run that bad boy right up to netzley tire in accord ny and get a laser alignment!! if they sent you a picture that way, they sure as hell don't know what they are doing!!:yikes:
