Default Springer Classic front wheel centered?
I have an 05 Springer Classic with the Fender removed. It seems that the wheel is not centered between the springer forks. There's about 1/4" more space on the left or caliper side. Can another Springer owner tell me if theirs is centered or similar to mine?
Trying to get a wobble figured out and figured I'd start here.....before I check the head bearings and rear wheel.

Not sure about the springer, but the custom comes with the wheel 5/16" right from the center.

Fitn, I have an 06 Springer Classic, same thing on mine. It is normal. Adjust your steering head.
