350x frame dent...factory?

[twitch101]

Every frame i have seen has had a dent in the right side near the middle of the down tube. Is this a factory or just a common spot that got the snot kicked out of it? I recently got a very nice fra,e and it still has this dent with no paint damage to it.

Yes that is factory.

If you look it is for clearance so you can snap off the exhaust manifold stud with a socket and extension. lol
