I'm not entirely sure what is wrong with this bike now.
TLDR: front wheel nearly impossible to fit between forks, and rotors dont sit centered in caliper. forks are not bent. Whats the issue??
Long story... i had an issue when i got the bike with a dragging side of the caliper, yada yada yada rebuilt caliper this and that blah blah blah.
I had the entire brake system rebuilt. The master cylinder, rebuilt. The brake lines, steel braided now, the calipers, rebuilt. the brake fluid obviously flushed with lines.
Problem now, I noticed, as well as the shop noticed that my front wheel seems EXTREMELY difficult to get in place. 2008 CBR600RR has 2 wheel spacers on the front, both are the same part, same size.
With the wheel spacers in, fitting the wheel between the forks is nearly impossible, they managed to do it. I ended up taking the front wheel off to check it, make sure it was proper spec, matched up with a separate rim that i was sure was the proper rim. I put my old rim back on because it was the same thing. After about 40 minutes I got it back on by turning the forks and playing with curse words.
I'm not sure what the issue could be because the rotors / discs do not sit CENTER in the brake calipers, these rotors are not floating rotors, they are the proper rotor. brake pads are fine. Forks don't seem to be bent according to shop and according to my raw eyeball.
TLDR: front wheel nearly impossible to fit between forks, and rotors dont sit centered in caliper. forks are not bent. Whats the issue??
Any help is MUCH appreciated as I try to fix this poor bike.
