uneven front tire wear
I have an 07 softtail custom \\; and the front tire is \\; wearing \\; most on the right side
it does \\; have \\; 8300 miles on it \\; but thought \\; I could \\; \\; get another 3000 miles \\; out of it \\; prior to this
 \\;
I did \\; have \\; the \\; rear changed \\; about 3000 miles ago and \\; was told \\; that if ti was not installed straight \\; this \\; could \\; cause this
 \\;
I would appreciate \\; any \\; feedback

The roads I ride do not have much crown and if they do I travel them both ways so I should get even wear on both sides
Thanks

RE: uneven front tire wear
I guess it \\; actually \\; does maybe \\; track a \\; little to the right
I have \\; \\; zipped zipper on coat \\; or adjusted helmet \\; a couple times and the bike \\; went to the right just slightly \\; I thought \\; perhaps \\; that \\; was because of the crown in the road
 \\;
The \\; tire is wearing \\; on the right so I \\; would \\; not think \\; it would be the crown on the road
 \\;
It could \\; be out \\; of alighnment I could have \\; hit a \\; pothole and \\; \\; not have \\; realized it
 \\;
I guess I just \\; found it odd that \\; the right has really \\; worn a \\; lot very \\; recently
I keep a \\; pretty \\; close eye \\; on the tires and it has worn \\; fast
 \\;
I am \\; getting \\; it changed tomorrow so I will see what \\; the dealer has to say
 \\;
thanks \\; for \\; all the info \\; will \\; let \\; ya \\; all know \\; what \\; they \\; say

RE: uneven front tire wear
OK, I'll bite. How does a front wheel manage to be out of alignment? What's the fix, turn the handlebars a bit?
OK back to serious...
