Is it the Fender or is it really the Rim/Tire not being centered (within the forks).
Measure to confirm (see photo below)
If it's the Rim/Tire and you're also happy with the existing brake rotor centering within the caliper, You might be able have yourself or someone move the Rim/Tire over with Spoke "magic" (loosen one side...tighten the other)
I was thinking the same thing... It's hard to see without having the bike in front of me, but my impression looking at your pics is that the fender looks more centered than the wheel does. Is everything OEM with regard to the axle and spacers? I'm not familiar enough with these bikes to be sure, but it looks like there may be some aftemarket stuff down there? Does the caliper sit perfectly centered on the rotor, or is one pad tighter against it than the other?
EDIT: Somehow I missed the whole last page of this thread when posting... Seems you're already on the right track...
Thanks for responding. It's definitely the rim and tire offset to the right about a half an inch. Spoke to a few dealers and the consensus I'm getting is that's the way it's built. Kind of bogus if you ask me. Bike is brand new and I haven't touched a thing on the front end.
By the way. I love your front fender .

Your right 2 inches on right and 2.5 on left. 1/4 inch to left would straighten it all up. However brake rotor is perfectly centered in caliper. Caliper bolted to left lower fork.i don't think there is an adjustment I can make.
I would like to know if anyone else has noticed this on their wide glide or other bikes.

My 2012 measurements are 2 1/4 per side. Fender maybe a c-hair to the left. When I take my hands of bars bike rides straight. I cant post pictures at this time. Will post when I can . Big storm last night.
Pirelli is a great tire. Was thinking about going that route as it is time for a new rear. I did get 12 k out of the stock rear scorcher. I was also very happy with the Michelin commander 2 that I put up front.
12 k is a good run I think.
