Why is the rear wheel not centered in the swingarm?  or is it just me?
A bad marrage is like dirty carbs... It just makes everything else suck.

Dosen't matter where the wheel is centered as long as it tracks behind the front wheel.  It's very likely that the swing arm isn't perfectly centered, you do have that shaft housing on one side after all.

Rider2>Well it has different geometry now.

I was just in there the other day, and was looking at the clearances between the tire edge and the swing arm and noticed a difference between the 2 sides.

That's right, just about 1 finger's width clearance on the left, and 2 1/2 on the right.
