my dyna fxdx has a large gap on the belt side under the mudguard like a whole hand width between tire and mudguard BUT on the other side its almost touching the tire with the mudguard is this normal or is somthing out of line i have not noticed any probs when riding it just looks wrong??maybe adjusting the top mount will bring it over a bit?? please help any comments will helpor photos

That dont sound right, how long have you had the bike and when did you first notice it? are your shockers adjusted equally?, or for that matter damaged.

had the bike 2 years now and no probs but ive chopped the back end and fitted new shocks and when fitting the rear mudguard i noticed you can get your hand between the tire on the belt side but a cd case on the other ??if want some pics ill do some cheers

been looking at Simon dynas pics and think that they are a bit similar !! i confess i did have a fiddle with the top mount in the summer ,,maybe tightened it up a touch ?? and did not notice any change ,i remember taking it off and the bike nearly collapsing ,so it most probably has something to do with it i guess

Hard to tell without seeing it, clear pictures would probably help, but it does sound like something in the shocker/mudguard area's either damaged or mis-adjusted.

easy really took the tank off and removed the stabilizer link ,the whole back end move almost from one fender rail to the other , if its half an inich from one side a say 2 inches from the other im thinking should be in the middle somewhere ??? between the fender rails so the wheel is in the middle of the mudguard and not almost touching on side !! 4 whole turns of the turn buckles on the stabilizer and bingo spot on ,put a plumb line on and a lazer pen so the front and back are level ....perfect bloody hell its been like this since i dont know when maybe i did it the summer when i removed the engine but its fixed now hope this helps anyone else with a wonky wheel??:60 277EB7B04744289C0

Well done! It's great when things unfold like that and become obvious at last.
