Couldn't you just lay a rod or laser on the chain and aim it twards the front sproket and check it that way??

Joe, most chain drive bikes have the marks on the side of the swingarm at/near the axle, but I've found them to be too crude to be useful. What has always worked for me is to get ~5' behind the bike and to look at the alignment of the chain (between the front sprokect and rear) in relation to the chain as it wraps over the top rear sprocket... it is surprising how small of a misalignment one can see by naked eye.
YepCongrats on joining the dual ST/V-strom club. Now try not to spend all your time and energy pondering, "if I only had one, which would it be..." I do it daily.
I'm a big fan of ABS. The Wee is still a street bike mainly and that's where mine will be most of the time so ABS is what I wanted.Any thoughts on ABS versus non-ABS?
+1 Those are almost as big as the ones on my KLR.Good lord, those saddlebags look huge! Didn't notice that much in the picture Joe posted earlier.
It's overloaded alright, Joe used #2 welding cable for the primary leads from the battery. When he started it and switched on all the accoutrements my pocket knife flew out of my pocket and stuck to his bike. He's having the stator rewound in Germany for 5-phase output. Feeding that into a rectifier bridge and is hoping for somewhere around 1700 watts@12v. output.LOL, it looks overloaded already!
Those are the limited edition Tom Cruise bags. The camera makes them look bigger than they really are.Good lord, those saddlebags look huge! Didn't notice that much in the picture Joe posted earlier.
Lol nah I'm on a diet. BBQ on a Monday isn't the best idea but it was great to see JeffJoe's a "farkle'in fool". Whowee stand back folks. Joe you load those bags with some of that BBQ?
