hey, all the penny has finally dropped, I have never been the sharpest tool in the shed and when I asked a forum member some time ago about rims for my bike I was told the 07 fatty came out with an offset front wheel. It's just that I never understood what that meant until yesterday when I looked and saw my front fender not sitting squarely in the middle of the forks. I have been asking about the harsh wear to the RH side of the front tyre and the same answer I get from everyone is the camber of the road. It's just that when I look at other bikes none of them show the same extreme wear as mine. So am I correct in assuming the cause of my wear is a combination of the bike riding up the road like a crab and road camber?  The fact that I was very lucky to have bought an 07 spec bike with this marvellous upgrade was certainly a bonus not. Harley Davidson must be the only bike manufacturer in the world that doesn't centre their front wheel ( the rear is offset too I believe). I have read this is the only year they did this and that the 2018 fatty has had it reintroduced?

I just had to change the front tyre after 8850kms last one before that was around 10000km. Just had its 40k service done and I asked if it could be wheel bearings /fork oil /fork springs/rear wheel alignment. the answer is its just standard road camber wear. I just accept that I'm going to replace the front tyre more often. I keep on top of tyre pressure at 38psi and am now trying 40psi to see if that make a difference. Handling wise it is fine and everyone else who has ridden it says the same thing. Maybe the bike has been pranged and repaired and its bent out of shape? although I can see no evidence of that. I might add that those kms are mostly country highway kms with very little city riding.
