That was short lived .Torqued the axle and the caliper mount is off center again
.030 inside and .060 outside.

Is the bracket/mount mating up with swingarm correctly?
If it already centered correctly off the bike with axle in place and slack taken out, then you proved bearing /spacing issue out.

Everything looks square. I have significantly more clearance in back. Wish I had another to compare.

Go to a dealer with your calipers. Look for the same model bike. Measure it. Take a photo like you did for yours. Compare.

I would like to do that, problem is with the caliper on and the bike on the ground it's hard to see anything.
Nothing is rubbing and it went back together well; once the weather clears I'll take a run and see what happens.
