Default clearence question

I just bought a 06 Electra glide and was going over the bike an when you stand at the rear of the bike the tire is way off center with the fender.Maybe 3/8" between left side of tire and close to 1 1/2" on the right. It looks like they have spacers in the right places. Not much more than 1/8" between tire and swingarm on the left and the belt is tight against the outside of the front pulley.On top of that the rear drive pulley looks all chewed up . Hope the dealer will do something about the pully. They just put new shoes and a rotor on the rear the other day. I just want some ammo or info before I hit them up about all this Please help

My 06 is the same. I believe the wheel is offset to make room for the pulley.

Offset is normal but it looks as if you need the rear tire aligned so the belt is centered.
