1946 Indian Chief rear axle alignment aiders AKA Three Blind Mice

[T. Cotten]

I was going to bring a copy of Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle to D-port, Folks,..

And a copy of his Motorcycle adventure,

But I cannot get my van serviced in time.

Well the saga continues ordered the Pro-Motion 08-0368
Overall length is about 25" and from my down tubes of the frame just above the brake and clutch pedals.
to center of the rear axle on each side of the motorcycle is about 42" So me thinks I will be building a "Cotten-like" trammel.
Live and learn . . . just don't forget the live part of the equation.

[T. Cotten]

The hard part about using a trammel, Folks,

Is that the machine must be rolled forward on a flat surface far enough to be certain the the rear is following the front, to square the front wheel to the rest of the machine, and then blocked up/held vertical for inspection and adjustment, without disturbing the alignment.

Even if it must be repeated for certainty, it's still better than a bent coathanger.
