With the help of a scissors jack, a few thin pieces of wood under the center stand, and teaching the neighbors several new words, it is back on, except for adjusting the chain and torquing the axle bolt. Oh, and a few light taps on the axle with a rubber mallet.
There must be a system, but I think my new system will be easier ..... take it to the shop and let them fight with the fiddly spacers, adjusters, and rear brake caliper.
Gives me a whole new appreciation for the single sided swingarm and lug bolts used on my old R100GS and the Guzzi 1200 Sport.

I loved the single sided swing arm on the Honda Hawk NT650 I bought when I came back to bikes 27 years ago.
The rear tire on the CB is still good so I haven't had the "pleasure" yet of doing what you did.
The rear wheel on my CB900F (919) is fiddly too and can be a PITA to put back on so I somewhat know what to expect - which is not to say I'm looking forward to it by any means.
