Well done, Richard.
Meanwhile, I'm left with my OCPD.... I've had it all my life and so I've learned to ignore things like this. Until you come along and get me all stirred up...!!
I think you're correct in that it is a combination of a lot of small things. For me, the clock faces are all wrong... the "blank" spaces at the bottom of the clocks' faces are unequal and "wrong". If I were designing them, I would ensure that the plain black wedges, with no white lettering, would appear equal on both sides. Currently it's not and it does offend the eye - this matters more to some people than others.
The angle of the master cylinders, the handlebar fitting, gauge mount, etc., all have a bearing on "oddness". I've had to learn to deal with all this visual discomfort regarding many things (even food upon a plate, ffs!!) but it's really interesting that others see these things too.
See? I'm not THAT odd!!
