Default Enforcer/tire orientation
I did an Enforcer swap, and I thought the orientation was correct but in viewing some other threads I'm now not so sure. Can someone clue me in? What's the proper way to tell?

I sure hope there is no directional orientation for the wheels. At least I have no issues and am happy with them.

There is a DOT stamp on the front wheel. It's supposed to point towards the left side. However, my Indy installed my ABS in the wrong side and mounted the tire in the correct rotation for the way he installed the ABS bearing. Didn't catch it till I had gotten home with it. Have around 2500 miles on it with no issues.

The HD Dot and wheel size are cast into the spokes on the left, primary side on the front wheel.

Thanks, I'll double check it. I neglected to say it's the front wheel.

That's aight John. That's the only wheel you could've been asking about. The rear wheel is oriented to only fit one way.

On my swap, there was a gray bearing cap on the ABS side and a black bearing cap on the non-ABS side.
