    Front wheel issue gs 550 e 1981

    I replaced front wheel bearings on my bike, I am sure the bearings are seated properly. And yet I cant seem to center the wheel properly. I am not aware of a offset. since the groove for the speedo looking forward is on the left side, I did not accidentally rotate the wheel. the disk is properly placed in the caliperas well.. and still the wheel does not look in center.
    If someone has any ideas, please send me an e mail to hsteil4356@aol.com
    or post it here. are there any washers on the outside of the forks?
    appreciate any help. Peter

      have you got all the spacers in the correct position on the wheel spindle?

        If the discs are sitting in the calipers then the wheel must be centered - take a couple of measurements to check.
