X's 5 on what everyone else said. Measure your specific set up and order the offset you need. I ended up with a custom 1.239" offset from D&G, as they were the best price for custom offsets. You should be able to get away with something off the shelf from PMFR or the like. You should be able to fit 5/8" or under offset under your stock cover. Over that and you'll be running and outboard bearing support like z1ozonly and myself. I also have one of irishwills plates, but i don't think he has anymore left. Keep us posted.

if u run 5/8" u will likly need to clearance the frame. i had to heat the inside rail and flatten it with a larg C clamp. some guys cut out a section and weld in a steel channel. 1/2" ofsets dont need much. just grind off the lower inner footpeg bolt boss. if u plan to hit the drags, with a 5/8", it is recommended that u use a sprocket suport.

nice nice- well to be honest its going to be more of my cruiser lol never dragn her- or racn' getting old in my 24 years lol
im messuring 1/2 but its very hard eyen it up---
its more the rear tire- is set on half mark bothsides (swingarm messuring)(rear tire bolt adjustment)
if i offset this to half on the left an 3lines in on the right- it lines up PERFECT-.... the tire doesnt appear to be (CrOOKed) off by eye sight---
what do yall think- throw a chain on it an see how it rides? (cause idk) lol
with the stock 5/8th offset sprock the front sprocket is ^straight^ an the rear on half marks left an right is (/) the angle is just way off.. probably 20degrees (if the rear tire is set exact on the rear swingarm adjustment)
hope this makes sense--
thanks alot guys LMK what you think
i just go an ipad2 ill try to take some nice pics-

not sure I understand completely but line your rear wheel up by the marks then make a few measurements to ensure it is tracking straght
put your stock sprocket on and your chain or other straight edge put the nut on just enough the sprocket wont pull off take a tape measure and measure how far out from orinal spot it takes to make it true mine was about 13mm
I dont know how much an 1/8 inch will affect adjustment and chain/tire wear
if you already have the 5/8 offset then adust a happy medium but you will get excessive sprocket chain and tire wear or shim your wheel to the left a litte (thicker and thinner bushings) JMO
