So I installed my new forks yesterday and reinstalled the front wheel and brakes....When I spin the front wheel the brakes are dragging. I will pull the brakes back off and check to see if the wheel is spinning smoothly then check the front rotors. Not sure if I have a bad front axle or bad rotor....bike had some serious front end damage.

 
Use a dial indicator to check the runout on your brake rotors. Some MINOR dragging of the brakes is normal.

 
This is more than normal....I can feel it when I push the bike...there is a spot where they grab a fair bit.
