I need some of these-them-there-wassisnames for telling you when you have the rear wheel adjusted evenly on each side.

To save spraying them black, black ones would be great but silver ones would also be great because I could spray them black.

Anybody?

Cheers me dears,

In my experience they are only any good if you remark the swingarm with the adjustment marks in the correct place. Both my SVs marks were a mile out from the proper alignment when checked with straight edges.

I don't bother with them any more, I just check the alignment with two long straight edges I made up, similar to the ones MOT testers use.

How on earth did this end up in the for sale section?

There's strange things happening on this forum!

I use a vernier gauge to check the length of the studs coming out the back of the adjusters , once I knew they were both the same length I use the depth part of the verniers . They actually called those triangle parts "washers" on the `fiche , they are wildly out most of the time , mine are actually one division out .

I'm not looking for accuracy

I'm looking for something to put there as there's aren't any there at the moment
