The first photo looks like a fork leg, bottom yoke or both is bent. The forks don't look parallel.

Does look weird and difficult to say with such a peculiar photo angle, front discs must be inline with each other but they look weird too. Defo agree the front mudguard does seem very close to the belly pan. i had my proddy bike adjusted back in the day, headstock pulled in to match TZ geometry. So doesn’t surprise me if there are a whole pile of bikes out there that were once beaten to an inch of death that are now being resurrected to correctly be ‘matching numbers Uk bikes ‘.... |

I don't for the life of me understand the matching numbers UK bike thing, they are almost all triggs brooms, re-built with second hand German parts as us UK kids cut & did away with lots of parts that are now coming from Germany. |

I know.. that’s the thing, makes no sense.
Full service history with all mots etc, original sales receipt is one thing but the triggers broom thing is quite another. But that’s an old record that plays here regularly so let’s just help folk notice when I bikes for sale that needs studying carefully.
