I don't have a pic of it but I was at a local hang out a while back and one of the guys there noticed how the dirt from the road was more on one side from center than the other.
He had me worried that the wheel wasn't aligned properly.
I don't feel it pulling to one side or anything.
Is this normal with the bigger 200 size tires or do I need to get the alignment checked?

 

Check the tech forum there is a thread that shows you how to make the alignment tool it is very easy to check that the wheel is adjusted properly you just use the tool to make sure the axle is centered if it is you are good but if it is not the tire would be crooked not angled so the dirt would still be even because the tire will still make contact maybe you just rode through some dirt but only with half the tire.

 

At first that is what I thought but the wear pattern from riding about 20 miles on straight up and down road was even to one side.
I will check the tech forum, Thanks.

 

My 07 custom is like that too. More wear on the right, just like the front tire. With a windvest windshield it is noticable that the whole bike has a slight right list to it going down the road. Far as I'm concerned they didn't get the offsets right for correct balance point on the bike. I built an alignment fixture for the rear wheel and it tracks straight with the frame rails, so it's not alignment.

Hmmm, thanks for putting my fears at ease. I didn't want to wear out something prematurely!

 

The main reason for premature tire wear is air pressure or lack there of.

 

I have noticed this on my 07 fxstb but I have always just figured that I made more right hand turns

 

This isn't the "chicken strip" marks, it is more when you have ridden down a perfectly straight road for a while, turn off and park. You may lean in the dirt a bit but the road that you went straight on will make its own separate marks.
On my tire it is obviously to one side more than the other.

 

This doesn't have anything to do with "wear".
I ride pretty aggressively and I make sure my pressure is always right.

 

Take a metal wire clothes hanger. Stretch it out and bend it into an "L" shape. On the long end, put a zip tie and cinch it down, cut off the excess. The short part of the "L" is placed in the ceter of the swingarm pivot bolt (or pivot bolt cover if you have one. Hold it to the pivot,and place the other end towards the axle. Move the zip tie so it is in the middle of the axle.

Go to the other side. If the zip tie is in the middle of the axle, you are good. If not, adjust the axle adjuster.
