Problem with PM wheel on my Train
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has had trouble mounting a PM wheel and it being off-center by about an inch to the right. Seems as though it is a wrong spacer and hub combination, but the funny thing is it fits perfectly, just over to the right. I used all the spacers that PM sent. Even PM is baffled...said it has never happened before. Just curious as to what you guys were thinking.
Thanks

Maybe it is right. My 08 rockers rear tire is off set to the right, the way it came. Never had a problem in 20k miles. Does seem a little strange at first, but no issues with mine. Check the MOCO manual.

My 09 NT stock actually sits about 1/2" to the left, I've looked around the show rooms and it seems all the 200mm FXST's sit 1/2" to the left except for the FatBoys, they look like they are roughly 1/2" to the right of being center. I gave up and bought a BlackBike wheel and it sits about 1/2" to the left also. Either way I have had no issues out of either setup.

I have the PM wheels also,they sit offset to the right,as long as the brake caliper/disc and belt/pulley are aligned you should be ok.Also should'nt have much drag when you torque the axle nut

Yes, I have the matching PM pulley and rotor installed as well the spacers they supplied. I know my stock setup was centered, and I would even accept a little off center, but damn, this thing is as far to the right you can go without hitting the fender.
Yes it does line up with the caliper, that's one of the troubling things.

You've got a good point there. That license plate bracket is off center to the left by what looks to be about 3/8".
