Left Turn CLYDE

Hello Everyone

Has anyone fixed the left turn tendency of an early wide tired frame?  I have a 240 tire War Eagle frame with a 1.5" offset in the primary and it's real heavy on that side.  It's bad enough it wears the tire way over on the right side.  I've thought about trying to lead in the frame on the right side, I just thought maybe somebody had been there and done that already.  It does have a wet primary - and maybe going to a dry belt or open primary would help - cause its what's hanging out there with the longest lever arm.

I have a 240 tire left hand drive, wet primary, belt final.
As far as I know the only way to balance the bike and get away from the heavy left hand side is to convert it over to a right hand drive, but then the swing arm is different you would need a new tranny  etc. i just got used to mine. good luck.
