I spoke with one of the mechanics at the shop today. He too suggested aligning two 2x4s from rear to front and measure spacing against the front wheel.

He also said the rear wheel is not dished so it should be equal distance to the swing arm.

Didn't mention in my first post but I was concerned about excessive wear on the left side. He told me this was normal in Texas because of excessive crown.

Another thing I did was to ride hands off to check for drift but the Tiger tracked true. I'm not sure if this tells much but reading about the other person having to keep pressure to track straight made me think it may help tell.

Thanks for the replies.
