That is one of life's big mysteries - why is it only the right side of the tank that has the problem? It's the same with some of the stick-on lettered tanks that have occasionally cropped up. On my bike, the left side badge is a good 1/2 inch or more further forward than the right side badge - not just in relation to the stripes, but in relation to the front tank supports. But then again, the tank is offset, presumably due to the fuel pump requirements, so I don't know what to think.
I do know that before I bought my bike, enough people here assured me that there would be flaws in the fit and finish that I was expecting something like this - or at least not surprised by it. So I don't know who should be the more shocked. I've already owned, and sold, what many people say was, in it's day, the highest quality in motorcycles - I'm happier now.
Not that we should be footing the bill for this, but... NFG sells what looks like a replacement badge - minus the red reflective tape stripes. It appears to have pre-drilled holes. Hitchcocks has the same badge, but it appears to have the reflective tape stripes - and they may or may not be covering pre-drilled holes. Maybe I could get a $12 replacement and drill different holes to line things up?
