I owned a Mooney 201 for a couple years and from the tip of the prop spinner to the tip of the left wing and the tip of the right wing, there was a 2.5 inch differnece. I could never tell. The plane flew straight as an arrow, however, it took almost one full year for me to stop thinking something was wrong with that plan. When I look at my Edgar 80hz, I can tell they are not EXACTLY square, but they do sound great. Cheers.

The engine is offset a little to compensate for torque, propwash.Aloha,
The factory said they expect up to 3.5 inches off from side to side without control issues. Same thing with a Harley. The factory only holds the bottom of the forks to 1/4 inch either side of center. So when someone says their bike rides straight as an arrow, they got one with the forks dead center on the centerline. Cheers.
Before the Evo motor they had designed and tooled up for a nextgen motor. Trouble is, they hired some engineers who had no experience with motorcycles to head the project. The new motor tuned out to be considerably heavier on one side of the bike than the other. What to do? they had tooled up for the motor at considerable expense. Some idiot comes up with the idea to offset the forks from the centerline of the bike to balance it. Now, just having an engineer stupid enough to come up with that idea is a bad thing but they actually built one and took it to the Milwaukee mile for testing before giving up on the idea.
