Default front wheel alignment??

I got a 97' F3 about 2 weeks ago, been going thru it, making sure all is ok. I went and bought a new front tire, took it off myself, had the dealer install, put it back together, Now it looks likethe whole thingis too far to the left, from looking at it from the front. What are the difference in the wheel spacers, or is there any? I can tell that from the brake caliper on the right that it is sitting too far to the left, cause it had been scrubbing with the previous owner.. when lookingat the front of bike.. Any info??

If you think you need to, check the clearances of the caliper bracket-to-disc clearnace (7mm or 0.028inch) with a feeler gauge, its just a matter of loosening of the retaining bolts to slide left or right to make any adjustments.

Also check that you have the spacers on the the correct sides.

ok, here is what I found out... I have a 900rr front wheel, 16", instead of the 17" wheel. Is this gonna make a diff? And what about the spacers? are they different sizes or are they the same size, for the left and right?
