Sorry for flooding the board with all of the past several messages, just
speaking out loud trying to get ideas.
Looked closely at the front of the fender - the entire fender is closer
to the right side than the left, symetric with the rear. Now I'm really
wondering if I need to add a spacer somewhere to shift the wheel to the
left by 1/4" to be perfectly centered. Any thoughts on where I need to
add a shim to shift the wheel? In the wheel bearing or outside the hub?
Should the front wheel spin perfectly free? I noticed when I tightened
up the front axle, the wheel spins well but there is a sound like the
front brakes are dragging, which is what I thought it was, perhaps my
bearings are binding slightly and I need to add a shim to the right side
to free up that bearing, which in turn would shift the wheel to the left
by 1/4" or so?

Been thinking of the misaligned fender all eve. Is it possible that I need to add a shim to the right side wheel bearing to shift the wheel towards center? What does everybody else's front fenders look like? Are the centered or not? Keith Ruff 70 Cafe Racer Ambo Manahawkin, NJ Keith Ruff wrote:
