Not sure if this has been posted before (can not find anything on here). I have made up a tool too check rear wheel/drive belt alignment. XL1200 2016
Consists of two different sizes of wooden doweling (14mm and 12mm)
Hope this is of help to some of you
Hi Andy,
The HD plugs are about Ł135 in the UK.
I have marked the centre of the dowling and have the rod to measure from the locating hole.
I just made a cheaper option.

Yep I did a similar thing but I use Rubber Stoppers instead of dowels and of course a bent rod with a small really really small o-ring to compare one side to the other.....
Clever! and good to pass on, I didn't initially realize that the holes in the rear axle ends on 08+ Sportsters were different sizes. FWIW I found some knockoffs of the ridiculously expensive plugs on Amazon for about $20 IIRC...

I keep searching for the v-twin plugs but they never seem to be available.
What I find strange is motion pro makes the bent bit of wire that will work on bikes where you use the pivot bolt but then didn't follow up with the plugs.
Jims make plugs but they must think they made them out of gold!
