1986 FXWG: Does anyone have any issues lining the rear wheel to make the bike ride straight down the road? My adjusters are way off to make bike go straight and belt still seems to be running ok . Maybe the adjusters are fu***d,after market with numbers on them. If I make the numbers equal the bike does the crab walk.
Don't know if it has been in a crash, swing don't look bent.

 

Do it the old school way. Measure each side from the swing arm bolts. I made my own device patterned off of the Harley tool. Easy and correct.

 

I have one, it's close, but something just not right it seems.

 

You should be able to get the rear tire straight using a homemade tool I use just a coat hanger and a small oring to slide to make sure both sides are the same from the axle to the hole in the Swingarm. If that is straight for you and it's still crab walking you should check the engine alignment. The only thing holding it straight is the front mount rear mount and the top stabilizer.

 

Not a dyna. No rubber mounts on that machine.

 

Sorry about that, thought it said fxdwg. Check the rear tire see if it's worn off center and not evenly rounded from being ridden out of alignment before you straightened it.

 

Make sure front end is not tweaked or twisted as this will make wheel track off to side.
