If there was a spacer on the LH leg...you wouldn't be able to SEE the bearing..which is what skythrasher is saying.
...I think.
Maybe it's the dust seal in the pic..maybe not.
Next pic please! (straight from the front..showing the spacer installed)
Maybe another showing the rotor orientation to the caliper from the back of the wheel?
Re: 'Sump'n ain't right!'
Amen.

Maybe this rim has been relaced?

This goes back to the earlier post, correct? The 'dished' idea?
Holding a straightedge on the outside of the hub..with some number (say 4) lined up with the hub centerline...what do you see on the straightedge on either side when you eyeball the tire sidewall?
Should be the same distance from '4' (or whatever number you lined up) on each side of the '4'.
Is it?
Doubt it.

Look at the odo housing. Certainly it's in the wrong position.
That doesn't say what the INSIDE is doing.
Why put the housing on so wonky anyway?
Does the fork action suggest a bind somewhere? The RH fork cap/axle relation would show that much tweak.
Back to where the center of the hub is to the rim. After asking about that a few times and not hearing anything about it...maybe it's just a touchy situation........

I think the outer housing looks like it is in the correct place. I was talking about the tabs on the inside that line up with the slots in the wheel. If these are not lined up correctly it would push the wheel to the left about 1/4 in or more. However the brake would line up fine. Have you ridden this way? Does the odo work properly? It would be possible for the odo to still work, even with the tabs not engaged inside the odo housing. Just the fact that they are pushed up against each other would probably be enough to turn the drive cable, but it would probably read in error.

Yep.
The odo egress points to the rear..not up.
That didn't change anything on your alignment, right?
About that hub-rim measurement...........................
I'd think with it as far off as it is, you could see it easily enough just looking down the centerline of the rim/tire. It IS supposed to be on the center of the hub.
I'd think your spokes would be obviously wonky, too. Compare the spacing at the hub from side to side. Bet one side has some spokes tight to the hub..the other has some space. Heck...they might be off enough for the spokes to not be correctly (evenly) seated IN the hub in the first place!
