Need a measurement, may have a bent frame?

Working on cleaning up the bike, after I took the rear fender and tail light off it appears the right side of the frame is pushed in at the back. Would make sense if the bike ever fell over. Not sure if it look off, or if it really is off.

Can anyone measure the distance between the ends of the frame rails at the back for me?

I measure 6.375" on my straight frame. That's the inside measurement between the two tubes just in-front of the weld-bead at the end.

Thank you that was a big help.

Must be an optical delusion, after taking some more measurements there is no problem. The back of the frame tapers in a bit, I could have sworn the right side tapered in too far... looks to be ok now.

Again thanks scotch
