is your swingarm tweaked? like a bad bushing letting one side sag?

Reapeating an Axiom, have you done anything recently to the rear of the bike? A tire rubing a fender is in my opinion a serious misalignment therefore something has gone way wrong. Also have you checked the mounting of the fender?

Johnny ~ is the Sporty engine rubber isolated like the Dyna? Does the swing arms pivot come off the transmission and not attached through a pivot point on the frame? If it is like I described ~ you might have a motor mount issue. I really didn't understand this concept of the 'rubber isolated' engine and powertrain all being supported by two rubber mounts until I researched Eric Buell's original patent on the design. I just installed a True Track system on my Dyan for that reason... which was a pain in the butt, but the wife noticed the difference immediately. Keep us informed ~ very interesting subject.
