Notice how the rear fender is lined up to the rear wheel. According to my rear axle cams my back wheel is straight. Most touring models look like this, some aren't quite as bad, but the fact remains most touring models look like this. click through the photos to see what the Straight Shooter brought to my attention.

After validating the Straight Shooter is mounted straight and correct on the bike I hit the right rear lower swingarm target with the laser and it reads 5 1/4 maybe closer to 5 3/16. the left side should show the same thing.

This is the Left lower swingarm target. The red laser dot is pointing to 5 5/16 of an inch. The swingarm is off by 1/8 of an inch. That will tell a technician the swingarm has to go to the right by 1/16 of an inch. It also means the bike needs new swingarm bearings and bushings. The new parts will help to eliminate any wobbles or ride quality problems. Please click on the rest of the photos to see what else the Straight Shooter will find.

This target is at the top of the right rear shock, above the bolt. As you can see the red laser dot points to 4 7/16. If the bike is straight the left side should read the same thing. Click on the next photo to see if this is straight or not.

This is the left upper target, above the left rear shock bolt. The red laser dot points to 3 3/4. That tells the technician the upper rear frame is 11/16 of an inch to the right. Which explains why the swingarm is being pushed the left. The two rear shocks bolt to the rear of the frame, so that means the rear upper frame has to be pulled the to the left by 11/32 (.34375). That is about the same thickness as 5 quarters. This can definitely cause a ride quality problem for any motorcycle whether the shocks are rubber mounted or not. If your want cutting edge technology and equipment to enhance ride quality and performance for your customers, you need the Straight Shooter.
