As per pictures below, I have fitted engine (which is offset to give clearance) - and have widened swinging arm. Ive got the rear hub in what I think is the correct alignment measuring as best I can, I can then measure to get correct spacers manufactured.

Is there an easy way to check front to back sprocket alignment ?

cheers

I got one of these from a local filling station a few years ago. Very handy. A bit of string did the job in the ol' days, but I went all techno'......?

Straight edge clamped to the sprocket works for me. Your motor doesnt look straight in the frame ? might just be parallax error.

 

Thanks for the replies - I think the easy one at the minute is clamping a straight edge to the sprocket

 

Old trials fanatic - you're right - engine does look offset, however I'm sure just angle of the photo
