#159336 bobby2407 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 50 $2.30 rear wheel allignment 3 Years, 3 Months ago   $2.30 wheel allignment, i bought a 30" piece of fan/lamp at wallmart,heres what i did,color 1 ball on the chain about 10" from the end with the clip,loop it around the inside pivot of the swingarm on left side and clip on to the colored ball,next put a piece of tape on each end of axle and draw a center mark,next adjust left side to proper belt tension,now pull chain to center of axle,put a piece of tape on the chain and transfer center mark.now unclip chain and put chain on right side (making sure to clip on same colored ball in chain)now adjust axle until center lines up with mark on chain.i used this method yesterday and it worked perfect!!!   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/02/02 11:40 By Gram.

My pully is not as wide as the OEM one I have about 1-2mm clearance on both sides.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159483 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:$2.30 rear wheel allignment 3 Years, 3 Months ago   I get mine set and if I have to pull the wheel off I back the jam nuts all the way to the head of the adjusters. Then before I do anything else I take painters tape and wrap it around the adjuster bolt up against the bracket then back the bolt off. When I put it back togeather I run the bolt in until the tape just touches the backet. Remove the tape and run the jam nut down tight. It always puts it right back where it was with no fiddling to align it again.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159525 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..
