did you adjust both sides evenly? if not it can chicken the wheel in the swingarm and could be causing the brakes to rub the rotor. Check both sides there are notches on the axle "washer" and on the swingarm should be in the same spot on both sides.

I am guessing you live in tampa?  where abouts?  I am at I-75 and fowler.  I am pretty sure your wheel got kinked sideways somehow.  Does it do it when the rear wheel is off the ground? (IE put it on centerstand and spin it)

Also there is a nut that you have to loosen on the brake caliper when you adjust the rear wheel.  Did you do that?
