21" tire wear?

21" tire wear?
Notice on my front 21" tire on 2010 wide glide that the wear is off centre, stock front end set up,
Looks like it needs to be moved away from brake caliper 2-3mm
Would have to get new spacers and would i shim the brake disc to hub or shim the brake caliper?
How would you go setting it up properly (tp get setup as close to centre as possible) or is this just normal wear on the 21" wide glide tire
Thanks

Without an image I'm taking a guess here but it sounds like normal wear to me. Attempting to use spacers to move the wheel to try and 'even' the tire wear is going to have a negative effect on vehicle alignment, not something I'd want to do I used to commonly see the uneven front tire wear on my sport bikes, especially when using softer track oriented compounds, my love of twisty roads didn't help My '13 FJR had dramatically scalloped the OEM front tire in 1k miles, the replacement Michelin tires didn't wear as quickly but the front was showing some scalloping again in 3k miles. As I said, without an image I'm making a guess but my first thought as I read your post was it's perhaps time for some new tires...
This is a great article explaining tire wear and the why's of tire wear:
