Got a 180 on mine too. Looking at the struts, it appears mine is too. I remember seeing a thread on this a while ago.

Hey street bob, I have a 2009 Heritage FLSTC, and my tire does not set in the middle of the fender. I believe it is just the nature of the softail, at least with the Heritage anyway. cheers

Check your alignment. Mine was centered when stock, when I had the 160 put on instead of the stock 150 they could not align it due to extra width and the tire rubbing the belt. It made it look off centered. I did some machining on the spacers and caliper mount and all is centered again, and it goes straight again.

First off greetings from a fellow Jerseyite i also reside in the 732. For a few bucks you can make a cheep alignment tool for and with 1/8" steal rod and an o ring from home depot, use it to check rear wheel alignment.
