Proficat Chain Alignment Tool - $87

There are gizmos, and then there are convenient gizmos that really work. Everyboy knows that a misaligned rear wheel effects handling and sprocket wear. Using the axle plates to align the left and right side of the axle is next to impossible. Measuring from the front of the swingarm to the axle is also hard to accomplish, particularly on some Ducati models. In a pinch, I've been using a simple straight edge to determine if the sprocket is aligned with the run of the chain. That concept works fine except I don't always had a straight edge handy, and taking one with me while touring is a pain. Along comes the Proficat laser alignment tool. Simply place it flat against the rear sprocket and tilt it to shine the laser along the run of the chain. The light will shine as a dot to show whether the sprocket is perfectly aligned with the chain. It's brilliant, simple to use and compact. Includes batteries and a small carrying pouch. The entire thing fits in the palm of your hand and is small enough to fit in a storage compartment under your seat.

NOTE: Not necessary for Ducati models with single-sided swingarms.
