Dong Fang DF 250 RTB Bobber Information

It appears to me that the alignment marks where the rear axle goes through the slots are off quite a bit. Has anyone noticed that?
I measured from a rod stuck through the unused mounting holes on the engine on both sides to align the rear wheel. Plus a straight edge on the sprockets to check. Maybe since the chain is so long that the alignment is not that critical.

i never felt those marks could ever be accurate, and did not even bother to note them

Even Japanese motorcycles have been known to be off at the swingarm marks for chain adjusting. Maybe that's why a 1976 Honda CB750K model I owned way back needed so many chain adjustments. I even installed a dual row chain and sprocket set to try to cure the problem, and it did not cure it. ON long trips I had to basically adjust that chain once a day.

This is the type of tool that is recommended to adjust the chain tracking properly.

Trying this Le Pera spring mounted wide solo seat L-105 on my 2013 and it seemed to work just fine on my test ride. I'm using the stock spring mount for now but going to try the back springs without the stock spring when I get some bolts.
It is about three inches wider and sits higher than the stock seat. It seems to position me well for some mid controls.

The Eastern Box Turtle on the seat is the third that I have rescued while crossing the road this week. I had to put this one in my pocket since I don't have any saddle bags yet.
