I took off the front wheel and changed my tire today, now when I put the wheel on, the whole thing is shifted about 1/4'' to the left if you're in front of the bike looking head on. Nothing is bent, as the wheel is closer to the left fork than the right, and the caliper bracket on the left hits the outside of the brake rotor and the bracket on the right hits the inside. I switched the spacers to the opposite sides and my wheel is in the exact same spot. I torqued the axle to spec, thinking maybe that would help, but it did not. Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Shoot, I had searched on this and didn't find anything, but I just did some more searching and found this: http://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/24961-front-wheel-install-help.html
I bet that is what is going on, I had no idea the front wheel was directional. Looks like I'm headed back to the garage to check.
