Nightster rear tire traction dirt mark
Noticed that mine is slightly off center (more towards the right). Is this normal? Is it dependent on one's riding style (frequent right turns)?

That don't mean anything, unless it was all the way to one side or the other.

It looks pretty even and centered to me. That little bit on the outside right could very well just be from turning in your driveway or garage.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't notice any uneven wear marks or anything was just curious and I haven't put a lot of miles on the bike. Also, my front tire has some traction/wear marks on the very edge from my last ride through the twisties
It's kinda cool to see, I didn't know I was leaning that much

My machine always lets me know when I'm leaning anywhere near "that much", the stock pegs find the road all too soon...
