Question Road Glide rear wheel install

So I removed my rear wheel off my 16' fltrxs without marking the adjuster cams. How do I get these cams set back to the right setting when I install the wheel again? Any help would be appreciated....


Thanks
Scottie

I would think when installing, verify wheel is straight by measuring both sides. Check drive belt tension and it might end up where they were from the start. At least that's what I would do.

While it can be convenient to mark the "cams" and reinstall in the same position (if your belt was already properly adjusted), now just install and follow the FSManual to adjust your belt.

Cams rotate together on the new fancy bikes, so measuring is no longer needed.

As stated, follow the manual and adjust to the appropriate tension, this is SOP when re-installing a wheel. Things change, adjustment always should be checked.
