GL1200A rear wheel hub to Final Drive alignment?

Looking at the rear end today and noticed the way the wheel aligns to the final drive,


Rear wheel center hub to Final Drive black plastic ring

for some reason I don't remember that looking the way it does with the gap. Maybe I've got CRS

The left side pictures for reference


All the spacers etc.

Left end of axle protrusion

Gap at left shock and caliper mount plate

Brake pad/Rotor alignment

Does it look normal to y'all?

hmmm i think something wrong ...im like you i dont remember a gap...

Gap at caliper looks to me like the slide pins are not allowing the caliper to slide.

There's a shadow from the rotor on the right hand pad, after took pic I thought the same but the 2 pads are almost exactly the same thickness

i will look at mine close tomorrow...to see how it fits that glorified dust ring ...1200 wheels do suffer issues

mine appears not to have that gap the pics really dont show it good ...but it also right there ...id just lift wheel off ground and check for wobble in wheel ..if it seems good id just say its ok

No wobble felt, first check I did . Your might be about the same as mine. I shoved the camera in between the spokes to get the shot so it was at about a 45 degree angle to the gap, makes it look larger. The more I look at it, based off of where the left side parts are, the wheel can't go to the right any more. Only way to have it move right would be to space the rotor off the wheel more, then you might bottom out the splines? I say it can't move to the right because the caliper support, which is between the 2 spacers on the axle, can't move right (unless a larger gap in spacers is allowed). If the support can't move right then no other part can move right, including wheel. Maybe that has been that way and I just don't remember it (big surprise :smilie_happy: )
