Head scratcher

here's a toughy for all you bike guru's...i swapped a (what i was told was a) f4i wheel onto my 98 900RR....might have even been a 93 900 wheel. anyway, put the appropriate wheel spacers on etc and for some reason the rotor sits crooked in the calipers...try and look closely at my pics and youll see the gap between the rotor and the pad...any ideas
its like the caliper is bolted crooked onto my forks, but its sitting flush

its weird...the entire caliper is crooked...not just the top. so when u put washers on it, it doesnt do anything. unless i put washers that i grind down at an angle, if that makes ne sense
