Hi Topper
To aline the rear wheel. I use the A piece of string to bring the profile of the rear tire forward to the front wheel,
its much easer than it sounds. Hear is a good link www.motorcyclistonline.com/howto/string_...le_wheels/index.html

Jimstan, that looks pretty sweet. I'll give that a shot before I go ride again.

It was definitely the tires. Got a new set and I'm good to go.

I tried the string method for aligning the rear wheel and unfortunately the string needed to pass right through the vertical support for my center stand. And stupid physics won't let it do that. ;)
