OK folks, I have spent the last two days shouting and swearing at a partially dismantled motorcycle in a vain attempt to ensure the rear wheel is correctly aligned (I am pretty sure the markers on the swingarm are out).
I have searched all over the net for ways to do this properly but all of them require the rear wheel to be aligned off the front wheel, yet none say anything about how to ensure the front wheel is, in fact, straight.
Turn the bars a mm or two one way or the other and the measurements all become completely useless.
Am I missing something really simple or is it just a case of dead reckoning?
