I prefer to line things up from first principles rather than relying on making the rear sprocket point at the front one. After all, how do you know all the other components (front sprocket, engine, front wheel etc.) are all where they're supposed to be? Your 99.95% laser accuracy could be lost amid the other factors.
A couple of straight edges and a ruler are all you need to ensure the two wheels line up parallel and central… and on mine at least, it turns out that the swingarm markings are spot on. If yours are not, just amend, or make a note of the offset you need for your markings and you don't need to measure it again. No need to buy an expensive, potentially misleading tool that then clutters up your tool box.
Nice hugger tho'.
