Aligning motorcycle wheels

To make sure my wheels are aligned I use a cheap laser pointer.

It is really helpful to have your bike on a stand. I use the Pit Bull stands - both front and rear.

You will also need something to secure the laser pointer. You want the laser pointer to be high enough to at least shine along the sidewall of the rear tire. A brick works pretty good - and I typically just tape the pointer to the top of the brick.

I use a piece of wood for the "alignment measurement". Get a piece of wood about six inches wide, and mark the center. Add another marking equal to half of the rear tire width.

Place the wood on the front tire with the center mark in middle of tire and outside measurement on the laser side.

Place brick and pointer at back wheel so laser crosses both sides of rear tire and points at wood on the front tire.

If laser points at outside measure get a tape measure and put it on both rims of front tire so the laser light shines on the tape measure to see if you have to move rear tire.
