Caliper rubbing rotor
08 street glide ,I installed a 21" front and noticed the left side caliper is very close( if not touching) the rotor. I have been messing with it far to long and becoming frustrated. I put stock wheel back on and it seems the same. Wheel is on correct way, spacers on same side they came from but non abs, I believe spacers are same size. It's the outer side of the caliper so don't think shimming caliper would work. I installed new pads and cleaned calipers as well. Below are pics right vs left side. Appreciate any help

Thanks for the quick response. When I loosen it up I can get it cemter d better but when I draw the axle nut down it pulls it back to where it is. I've tried tightening the leg clamp first and doing it but same. Yes I believe spacers are in right. Lines toward outside and on correct sides.

If the leg pulls over when you tighten the axle nut it means things are still misaligned. loosen the clamp on the other leg and give the axle a tap or two and tighten the nut before you redo the clamp.

Thanks for the help. I think I got it. It's not touching now, not as much clearance as the right side but I think it's the best it's gonna get. Took it for a ride and no noises, breaks work well and rotors weren't hot. Gonna keep an eye on it but think it's good
