Ive had many birthdays and see many things, but you're still going to have to be more clear on details.

Seems to me the new one(on the right).. is cock-eyed … the old one on the left is straight.. they are both stationed on a level surface… the bowls are slanted to the left.looks like a mfr defect.. . so I’m just asking the group should I send it back and get a kit for the old one? I have been burnt so much lately using after market items.. but being not as seasoned as you guys are..
 
What’s off center, the plastic cups themselves or the base tube they’re attached too?
 
Looks like you stock master or atleast the one you pulled is tilted to the right to make the cups sit straight up and down. If you draw a line thru all four top holes they don’t line up parallel so there for the cups in this photo are going to look off to eachother. My guess is if you set it in place without bolting it up but line up the holes it will sit pretty well.

I bolted it up and they still lean… I’m done with this after market crap.. thanks for the input..

Hole spacing and the center flange are the important features for fit. The last MC I got from Coo Cruisers had the reservoirs centered (proper) but tilted way back towards the fire wall like the were designed for down hill racing. Its on and works.

Looks like the input holes are slanted ergo.. the bowls being slanted.. thanks for contributing..
