Need Help with Frame Alignment

[War Horse]

I remember a thread here a little while ago that had a video showing how to do the frame alignment on the baggers, could someone please direct me back to that ? I'm in the middle of doing mine and I'm missing something from memory. I'm cranking to much one way or the other. TIA

This is what happens when ya hangin tuff in da shed........

Will do, thanks... I just replaced the SW donuts and the thing was way out of wack, one was half torn and seems the right side is pulling down hard even after the protractor adjustment......

Jake at GP has one of the best alignment videos I've seen. If the rear is getting pushed out, make sure the end block nubs are seated correctly in the new rubber slots.. You should leave the swingarm pivot loose until you got both end blocks in place then tq the pivot shaft..

Max, the rear isnt getting pushed out, but the right side bushing is getting pulled down as if the engine where tilted to much to the right. The left side appears to be in a normal (relaxed) position.

I think where my fault lies is with adjusting the rear wheel with it on the ground, will try with it off the floor and see.

BTW, who's Jake at GP ?

War Horse,

GP is Glide Pro so I assume Jake owns or works there.

It sounds like the link under the fuel tank is out with the vertical alinement. My 07 left the HD factory with the air shocks being different lengths. One shock was a 1/4 inch longer than the other causing the wheels to be tilted different directions and the motor leaning over one side. I installed new shocks and got the vertical adjustment right and then done the horozontle adjustment with the front link.

Thanks guys , just got in from doing the frame level and checking the wheels again, this time with the rear wheel off the floor, front wheel is at 89° and so is the rear. The front wheel not being at 90° has me a bit confused, but I imagine that if both are the same I shouldn't have to much of a problem. Best I can do for a straight edge for tracking is a 2X4, dont have the $ for 2 laser levels....

So when it came apart, it was good and when it went together it's off.. Sounds like the rubbers aren't install right. One is rotated.. Could be something wrong with the rubber like where the notch is cast. Is it possible you have one of the end caps on the wrong way?  You should replace them with the bike held vertical and a jack supporting the tranny.  Sounds like something has been wacked out..

It's a one man show..

6 foot fluorescent light tubes work well for that...

Its done for now, Max it was off before hand, when I let go of the bars the bike would kick to the left and it still does. the thing that got me to change them was that the bike was getting the rubber band effect on the twisties, that is rectified. However the drifting is possibly due to the bike having been "Ultraized" and the work done before I owned it is questionable at best. Time to save up for some laser levels, thanks for the floresent tube idea Strokerdave but......

Well at least the Comp Cams 875-1 lifters are nice and are somewhat quieter then the old 90K + old ones. Bike handles better and sounds better, all is good for now.
