2012 Dyna Wide Glide
Greetings! I just bought a new ('12) Wide Glide and noticed the front tire is offset from the center of the front fender. I took it to my local dealer who said they looked at another on the show room floor that had the same issue, so they called Harley Corporate. They were told by the Corporate office that this was intentional in order for proper balance. Sounds like a f up to me. Anybody else run across this 'problem'?

My FatBob, with two brake discs appears perfectly centered. Maybe it could have something to do with balancing/ offsetting the single disc setup on the Wide Glide, tho that is just a guess.

My bike is like that but it's the rear not the front. Tire is closer to the fender on the right side. It's rides perfectly fine so I'm not too worried about it.

Same here, rear tire, but mine is offset more to the left. Hopefully it doesn't effect belt/sprocket alignment!?

my front tire is dead center of the fender. sounds like they have the wrong spacers on the wheel if the wheel is offset of the fender. pics would be great. here is a pic. crappy pic but you can see its dead center. i even measured with a tape measure.
