front tire alignment
I have a 2012 Road Glide Ultra I took the front tire and Fender off and then I service the suspension Springs when I went and put it back together again seems like the forks are spread too far apart about a quarter inch what I line up the rotors with the calibers the tire won't spin

Thank you for your response this bike has abs on the left side and then a spacer on the right side I had to take the suspension out but there's only one way that those can go in I was thinking I could put spacers on them calipers but I really shouldn't have to do that I'd like to find out why it's different

Not an expert but if you haven't already, use channel locks, a c clamp or something similar and compress your brake pads/pistons back in as far as they can go while off the bike. Install the calipers back on over the rotor and there should be plenty of room for the wheel to spin. When everything is done, pump the brake back up. The pads should recenter on the caliper.

If you've installed the wheel backwards the spacing will be off as the bearing depths are different on each side.
