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.

(My CB went to the dealer for tires) The older I get, the more I'm inclined to let dealers do more of the routine stuff that I've done for years. What's the rear wheel made of? ................. lead?

Gotta remember, I've spent a lot of saddle time riding my old R100GS and Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport, both with single side swing arm and lug nut wheel mounting. Last two chain drive bikes I owned (for 50,000 miles each, and several tire changes) was my 2000 W650 and 2003 Bonnie T100
