Profi Motorcycle Laser Chain Alignment Tool. Profi C.A.T Standard DOT Laser Finally with this tool you can check chain and belt alignment with laser... Now you've done it! Who told you I like lasers? Now how to tape a Glock to the sprocket. Thanks for the information. Edited June 15, 2019 by Coop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brown built some beautiful cars though. Wasn't 007's DB5 silver? It has been a while so I'm not sure. Now you've done it. I'll be thinking about British sports cars all day. The 60's were a great time, there were so many small manufacturers and everybody was trying to stick a small block V8 into their cars. A friend had a Sunbeam Tiger and yes he got the competition extension cord. The aft sparkplugs were changed out from inside the car. Oh well, it will be a pleasant day.

Premium Member mikerbiker Posted June 15, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted June 15, 2019 Back to original question, my rear paddock stand definitely lifts rear higher than the center stand. Had one from previous bikes. Gives you more room to work underneath if you need it. Easiest way is just put bike on center stand first then slip paddock stand on rear bobbins and lift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 You won't believe this, but the Crimson Trace laser for a Glock will lay flat on the sprocket and will align with the outside edge of the chain. WWwwwoooooooohhhhooooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharks are sold separately. I was given one of these when buying a couple sets of sprockets and chains a few years back. Used a bunch of other methods prior, but using the laser makes it quick and easy for myself. The price in the one I linked is over the top, only just saw it. You can get them for around $20 elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last bike, a ZRX1100 didn't have a center stand. I got this from Pit bull Stands and found this way took allot of the asynchronous out of putting it on the stand. You pull it toward yourself while standing on the side of the motorcycle holding it up. Not attacking it from the rear.

Haven't used it with the FJ since it has a center stand. Had a 1996 ZX11 also with a center stand, Gen 1 VMax had a center stand. Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!
