Quick question; 08 vision. When going down the road at 60 mph I let go of bars and bike veers to right. Do I need to tighten or loosen axle adjustment on right side? I realize I need to maintain proper belt tension. I just can't get my brain around which way the rear tire is tracking if bike veers to right.

if bike goes right at a somewhat slow pace you're ok. Fast right you need to realign

Are you sure the road has absolutely no crowning ??

I suppose all roads are crowned one way or other, but I chose a road that is as flat as the eye can see. It took me a little while about 4 attempts to get the alignment set, probably due to the car tire on the rear, but I finally got the Vision to track straight at 60 mph ( no hands ). This is my first time going darkside, and I never had much difficulty before aligning the standard MT. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Never had a problem aligning my belt with CT on the back. Most guys just give up and quit

Most people think that they have to have the alignment marks the same on both sides of the swing arm which is not correct for all bikes. To get my belt to run straight on the Vision and the CCT I have now, the marks are slightly off from each other, but not by a lot. Got my best mileage out of the rear with it like this and the bike runs true.
