I do all of my own wrenching on my 2007 Softail and as such I have found measuring with a tape repeatedly is not a very fast way to get it done. This tool makes short work of rear wheel alignment so you can get onto whatever else you need to do.
For use with swing-arms that have a small hole near the rear axle where the pointy end fits into, the measurement is so sloppy that it's easy to get wrong. I machined a small block that the point slides through and holds it perpendicular to the swing-arm, that way I am certain that my side-to-side measurements are pretty close. Otherwise, you are going by eye and could be off +/- 0.05". Not sure how crucial this measurement is, but as a machinist, I was offended by how much slop there is but it was easily fixed.
Simple to use and a must have to ensure your rear wheel is aligned properly for best operation. I even use this on my 2013 FLHTC where it has the cam adjusters just to make sure they are working properly and aligning the rear wheel and as designed
This Tool was needed for my tire install. Well made and easy to use.
