Rear wheel not centered in fender on softail

Is this normal for a softail? I have all of the spacers and such installed correctly, yet the rear wheel is not centered in between the fender (it is about 1/16 - 1/8" to the left side). Thanks, Brian

Yes it is common, and to the left typically. You can true a laced wheel to center or machine a mag. Don't just space the wheel to the right without considering the brake caliper relation to the rotor.

My Night Train is a bit off too. It was confusing for a while, until I found these forums ...

With the stock 130, I don't have much room. So if I want to go larger, I may have to get a newer fender and struts. Not that big of a deal when considering ebay.
