I left work and was sadly greeted by a flat rear tire on my 1978 Bonneville. I was able to borrow a mini compressor and get it pumped enough to get it back home as I am only two miles away. I got the bike back after it was repaired and it felt unsteady on the ride home. Upon inspection, the axle nut was loose (oops) and the chain had about two inches of slack.
I tightened everything up and now find that the rear wheel is not alligned correctly as it is wearing on the inside of the sprocket and is nice and shiney where the metal has rubbed off.
How do I correctly get the rear wheel alligned up? Are there measuring points where you can take a reading? I now have a vibration and a chuf chuf sound when coasting and it seams to be coming from the caliper. Any suggestions?

I haven't read it, but I thought chain tension and wheel alignment instructions must be in there.
