Thruxton Stripe Off Center?

Hey everyone!

After being screwed over a few times I finally for myself a 2010 Thruxton. It's fully stock except it has a steering stabilizer. It's super clean rides nice. I have a tail tidy coming in tomorrow, and some new front shocks. I was very surprised on how quiet it is. Any advice on taking the baffles out? I'm not looking for a loud bike, but not somes so quiet. Do I need to get a power commander if I do that?
And super weird, the racing strip is a bit off center, I've been riding it for a few weeks and just noticed. Anyone else have the same issue? Super weird.

 

Another shot

 

Ohhh, that would drive me insane! Beautiful bike though. Congrats on finding it!

 

Do you know if it has been repainted?

 

I don't think so. No crashes when I looked up the VIN and the previous owner didn't say anything. The bike it is immaculate condition, so I doubt it.

 

Hmmm, then it just must have been poor quality control. Can you live with it?? Seems like you could since you've had the bike for a bit and just now saw that the stripe is off. But sometimes once you've noticed something like that, it can be tough to "unnotice" it.
