Thanks for the responses folks but I must be missing something here. My spindle does not align anything to anything else. The spindle threads into the left fork leg but the wheel and spacers are free to float along the spindle. I asked the dealer to check it when they did the throttle sensor recall work and they say its fine "they're all like that" (they even took the wheel out of a new TDM in the showroom to check)!
When I put the wheel in and tighten the spindle into the left leg the end of the spindle is about 10mm inside the end of the right leg. when the right leg leg is pulled in and the pinch bolt tightened the forks work fine - there is no binding - the discs are central in the calipers etc. If I don't pull the forks together to close the gap then I can't get both calipers back on!
Just hope I never have to remove and replace the wheel at the roadside.
