Is it possible to get a copy fax 1-847-205-1400 or roarone@sbcglobal.net?
If not, what did it say about getting a ware line on the frount tire just off center?

Thanks
I might be able to fax, but all it really said was that they thought it was common to the R1100RTP authorities. model. I kind of doubt it, but there were two examples quoted. I have had BMW bikes that pulled right, left and not pulled. There are some threads here about the weight distribution having an effect too or spacing the rear wheel out. I never found any obvious reason but never measured the tracking carefully. With lasers now, it should be easier than a string.
