    Fred,

    I don't have any of the motor adjusters the tourers have, so t he only adjustment I have is the rear wheel! The question I want to ask you though is... how do you know if the front is straight when you use that laser level. How do you determine that you have the front wheel pointing exactly straight??

    My thinking is if the disc is not warped and parrallel to the wheel, a vertically plumb 300mm magnetic level on the disc will not show a level bubble unless its pointing straight ahead. If you swing the wheel from side to side you will see the level go out of level, then back into level when pointing straigh ahead. This would probably not work if there was no rake.
