If my memory serves me right i believe that is a yes it should be off set but better to here it from somone that is certain as im thinking back over 20yrs to your question.

thanks for the reply, yes the more i look at it the more i am sure that it is meant to be off set. the bike is going very well at present but now im having trouble with my other cub 1960 model.. the clutch is very sticky and hard to adjust.making the bike hard to get into gear but i am still working on it.. thanks again ...stu
