I took another look. There's a rim around the hub that won't allow the rotor to be off center.

Guys is this normal brake drag? Doesn't feel like anything pushing the bike around but I could here it when it wasn't running. Normal or?

[QUOTE=Spanners39;12583563]If they are off centre then you have problems....only seen it with aftermarket rotor spacers on wide glide conversions and when the bolts are not tight.

You will always be able to hear the pads rubbing on the discs when you push it around though.[/

+1 new pads do it too.

They aren't off center. Not possible here's a ridge on the hub and the bolt holes don't allow any movement

I think he means the rotor being off center to the brake pads.
In other words the rotor is closer to one side or the other.

I checked that sorry for the misunderstanding. I checked the spacers. Had to put a new axle on yesterday and while it was apart I checked the clearance side to side

I rechecked the rotors this weekend. I have less that .001 of warp. Is it possible for the rotors to have different thicknesses? I have to pick up a thickness gauge that's all I can think of at this point. Rotors straight and wheels straight. Tracks straight down the road no bouncing.

Measure with a micrometer or a pair of dial calipers.

Honestly, if the bike rides fine, and stops fine then I'd leave good enough alone. As stated, you will always hear the rotors brushing up against the pads when you rotate the wheel. Don't pole vault over a mouse turd.
