Anyone got a good idea on how to align the rear wheel after putting her back on?

Ive measured the distance from the center of the axle to the aligning plate on the back of the swingarm and its got me... close. Anyone else got a better method?

 

do you have a center stand ? Some people take a string and put it around the front tire and bring both sides back evenly and look down it to allign the back

 

I have a rear stand.

Maybe im just tarded but I dont understand this method

 

I don't even beat myself up that much anymore. I put some relatively accurate tick marks on my swingarm, and align roughly on that. Then I check chain alignment, and go from there. Has yet to fail me, and I can't tell the difference.

 

Maybe some pictures will help...
