Chain rubbing tire

[Mitch81special]

OK first off, thanks to everyone for the input.
Iv checked and adjusted alignment as yamadude suggested with string. Also with the method suggested by Jim, done while riding on a flat/straight road. I'm now fairly confident my rear wheel is aligned correctly.
Jim, I'm not sure how to go about checking sprocket alignment but I'll do some reading. I believe wheel spacers are correct.
5twins, I'm hoping to get through the summer as is then do brakes this winter. But iv done as you suggested and re-positioned the brake arm.
Fred, it is 104 links including the joining link and it is a 34 tooth sprocket. The more I read about this the more I agree. As it is there's barely any clearance between the tire and the swing arm on the other side. Also I changed the cotter pin.

Good looking bike!
You keep it nice and clean.

Dunlop tires can run a little big in that model, IIRC. Use your string to measure swingarm pivot to the center of the rear axle on each side. They should be exactly the same.
