Default back tire

I installed a new back tire on my 98 glider. I noticed that it is not in the center of the fender. I checked the distance in the swing arm to the axle and is dood.. Any help ? Thanks

Don't know about the the gliders, but on my touring model, there are different size spacers that need to be put in on the correct sides.

Is your belt running true?

That's normal.
Don't sweat it.

As long as your belt clearance is good and your caliper lines up on the rotor you're fine.

THC is correct. If the belt runs in the middle of the sprocket and the rear wheel is aligned properly, you are OK,. Check the belt while rotating the wheel forward. The belt will travel to the inside of the sprocket when the wheel is turned backwards (normal).

I had new bearings put in and the spacers are in there. The caliper is good and the belt is straight. Before I did this it wa okay. maybe when they put the bearngs in maybe they didn't push them in all tge way

Does the bike go straight when you let go of the handle bars?
If yes then quit worrying about it.
If no the find out why.
