Wheel Alignment Jig

[C00kiemonster]

I just rely on the swingarm marks. Never had a problem tbh.

My wheel would have to be a long way out of line for me to notice.

The box section is straight and true as I checked with a straight edge before purchasing and yes as St Marks rightly says the threaded bar is not over tightened which would create a bend in the box section.

There accurate and I'm happy with them not a lot more to say than that really.

[Blade]

How is not as accurate? Surely a drawn piece of string is straight? You're relying on those bars you're using to be true.

If you don't want a discussion that's fair enough.

IMHO a piece of string can be pulled out of true, creating an inaccurate measure point.
Blades lengths of 20mm box section are fastened within the radius of the wheel, so (as long as the bolts are not ridiculously over-tightened) they should always lay true to the rear wheel

Until he bends one of the poles.

Very true and very well put Been using the string method for years and this is so much easier to use.

and that;'s all that matters. I was simply looking for a little enlightenment on the subject as I thought the string method was generally the preferred method.

That is one of the few Honda's i would actually spend my own money on. And it does look sparkly.
I was gonna say you need to make sure the box section is true first. Maybe on an inspectiontion table or some other guaranteed flat surface. And not overtighten the bolt. Looks well setup though.

Why do sssa not need this out of cuirosity? I have to admit in all my bikes i only ever checked once on the daytona using the marks on swing arm.

The SSSA adjusters are on an eccentric hub, D6. It can only move in one plane, backwards and forwards as its fixed on one side only.

This is what the adjustment hub looks like. It turns within the main hub to tighten or loosen the chain.

Your chain and sprockets wouldn't though and will wear prematurely if not aligned correctly.

I've got one of those magnetic lasers that clips onto the sprocket and shines a beam down the chain. I actually found the marks on the Daytona swing arm to be fairly accurate
