chassis after crash
Do u think that the chassis (rear part) can "move" in a crash if the muffer hit the road ?
If yes, how detect it ?

By eye? Look at it from the rear and see if it looks right. It would be possible for it to be tweaked in a crash."I spent most of my money on Scotch, women and cigarettes. The rest I just wasted" -
the muffer fixations not right...but difficult to know if all the bar has move.Comment

I would suggest to take the rear fairing off and see if the chassis is straight

The plate that is welded to the rear subframe tube..that hold's the muffler hanger normally bend's first..then the rear plastic get's it next
..... after that the subframe itself might bend a bit..but it's easy to spot as said above
Have you checked your Radiator and the steering stop lug on the frame... The Radiator will bend as soon as the plastic hit's the road (even falling off the side stand)... same for that lug,as soon as the clip on hit's, that puny lug bend's49 Sunbeam S7 deluxe - 57 Triumph TR6 Trophy- 68 Husqvarna MF250 Cross-68 Husqvarna MF360 Viking-71 Norton Commando Fastback-73 Moto Guzzi Eldorado-73 Kawasaki H2A 750-73 Ducati 750 GT-74 Kawasaki H2B 750-74 Triumph TR5T Trophy Trail-74 Triumph TR5T Trophy Trail -74 Norton Commando Roadster-77 Ducati 900 SD-81 Ducati 900 SD-86 Husqvarna 400 WR-98 Suzuki TL1000S-98 Suzuki TL1000S-07 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S-08 Suzuki DR780Comment

The same way you tell if the frame on a car is straight. Use a piece of string and measure the length of each side. Then, do the same for the diagonals. The measurements (right side vs. left side; diagonal vs. diagonal) should be nearly equal. If not, the sub-frame is probably bent.Comment
