Twin Power Heavy Duty Axle and Adjuster Kit
Anyone used the Twin Power Heavy Duty Axle and Adjuster Kit? It looks fairly straight forward to install although I'm not exactly sure where (in the video) the measurements were being taken to ensure equal adjustment on either side of the tire.

Edit, Scott beat me to it as I was typing.

Ouch. Maybe I can tolerate my BS axles a while longer.

I have a rod with an o'ring and a bend at the end. I measure from the swing arm pivot to the axle to make sure axle and swing arm are at even lengths. I might look into this unit.

Thanks for the answers. I agree that it's a bit expensive but I'd like to be able to take the rear tire off myself to get it changed. Seems like it is far more accurate (and easier) to ensure alignment than the current setup. Given how much a dealership charges for labour I think that it might pay for itself after a couple of tire changes.

Looks like a nice piece of kit, but I'm not seeing the need for the expense. It you want more adjustment capability, a stronger axle and cam plate, couldn't one just use a late model (2020+) axle? The torge specifications are also higher for the new axle, so that might also lessen the chance "torquing the axle and loosening the chain"?
