Default Performance Machine Wheel Owners HELP?

Anyone here have an 06 - 08 Dyna with PM wheels that would care to help me out with something? Im trying to find out what others hub lengths are on thier rear wheels. My rear wheel is off center and I'm trying to determine if my hub lenghts are correct... I figured ifI can get the measurements of a few guys hereI would be able to determine if my hubs are wrong or not. I've attached the pic below showing my situation and measurments, and also to show whatI am actually measuring to.

To make a long story short last fall my rear wheel decided to destruct by having the hub spin and inturn ruining the wheel. HogPro came thru and gave me a complete new rear wheel... nowI took my first ride this spring for a whopping 0.25 miles and my rotor is dragging really bad (getting very hot, very quick!) and now I am looking for a remedy once and for all.... my buddies are out riding and im here with my ride on a stand scratching my head.

Any help or measurements are appreciated greatly!

Best,

Joe

Sorry bro, even though I'm running PM wheels, I don't have access to my bike and am unsure of the measurements.

Thats cool, tell me thou when you look at the back of your bike is the wheel centered in the middle of the fender, or is it off to the side a bit?

Thanks

As far as I can recall the wheel is centered. Not sure if you can really tell from the attached or not:

It's probably off center to the brake side, am I right? This is normal. Most bikes do run a little close on the brake side. And your rotors are over heating? Not sure on that one...lemme think on it awhile.

Nope, actually its off center towards the pully side. I called HogPro and they inturn called PM to find out whats up....PM tells them that my left side hub should actually be 0.25" longer than it is now.... meaning it would be pused even furthe over than it is now.... ahhhh! I drop 4k on wheels, tires, and the other bits and my bike is disabled up on a lift.
