Re: Rear Tire Mounting
I like straight edges--borrow some and when you are straight, make your own index marks on the swingarm. I've seen people use the sprocket/chain alignment method but I think this is for dirt bikes... A 1 and 1/16 inch socket will fit the axle bolt and most torque wrenches in that range are 1/2" drive. snip I think I need a bit more chain play but my main concern is how to make sure the rear wheel is trued up after making adjustments for the chain. Any help on this? I'm also not sure how to tighten the rear axle bolt down to proper tourque specs without a huge adapter for my torque wrench. What do those of you doing your own mounting use?

Rear Tire Mounting
Just got my new set of Macadams and had them mounted up locally. Went to an aftermarket Harley shop and they mounted for $30 but couldn't balance the rear tire. Went across the street to get the front balanced for $10 (thought that was a rip-off) and proceeded to get the rear balanced a local Yamaha dealer for free. Both wheels are now back on the bike. I was able to get the wheel back on without changing the stays from where they were prior to removing. Re-lubed the rear axle. I think I need a bit more chain play but my main concern is how to make sure the rear wheel is trued up after making adjustments for the chain. Any help on this?
