When I got my Katana, it had this horrid engine guard, only on the left, not the right.
Looks like he crashed a few times, but only on the left, he must have crashed on the left, then got the cover since the left case is mangled and the guard hit the pavement at one point.

Re: My Kat fell twice
I don't remember if it looks bent, I tossed it about a month ago.

Re: My Kat fell twice
Side stand failure, or failure to operate sidestand !
On a UK bike over exuberance into roundabouts causes the same markings . Once you've damaged the casing, a set of engine bars seem a good idea.

Re: My Kat fell twice
I fixed a pair of these on a Kat I had some 20 years ago. 'Cause wifey used that bike and went down at the Stelvio when a cow standing in the middle of the road wouldn't let her pass by. Just to make sure.
