Default 07 Road King

I have two spacers on my rear wheel axle. one is wider than the other., Does anyone know which goes where? I know where they are now but I've noticed that if I attempt to drive down the road and let go of the handlebar I need to lean to the left considerably to maintain straight forward motion. Wondering if I have these spaces on the wrong side?

I would think that if your belt is straight and the brake rotor lines up with the caliper correctly, they are in the right place.

There was a thread a while back about the upper engine mount and how an adjustable one can "correct" the alignment of the bike and make it track straight, but I couldn't find it looking quickly.

Some roads are crowned for water runoff.
If center of road is higher than sides there is the possibility that bike could want to go to the right.
Tire pressure good?
