Such a big ***....umption EightEight. Just because someone makes or builds something doesn't mean they know what the hell they're doing.
And if your axle is spinning, your correct, that is a problem. Installed properly the only thing spinning is your head.
So, now that you all agree I'm right, only because I am, Ill explain it once more.
So for the older cats and the mental retar... I meant, the special ones who are here today, its very simple Eight Eight, pay attention

I see a lot of bikes with the axel installed backwards. People do this to avoid having to remove the exhaust pipe when removing the rear wheel. It is a mistake that can cause the nut to come loose in the axle to move. I know this from experience. Take the time to put it on right and it will stay tight.
Ok, resume obnoxious behavior.

This is the Touring Models forum, and the OP's bike is a 07 Touring Model. You are giving advice based on your Dyna experience. Do you have any experience with the 02 and up Touring Model rear axle, and the belt adjustment cam that is welded to the axle? FWIW, nearly all Touring Models have mufflers on both sides. There's nothing to be gained by reversing the axle to simplify wheel removal.
