Home made outrigger, wheel alignment

[shelbylen]

Hi, I am in the process of building a outrigger for my 85 gl1200A. So far I have the frame to it done. I am making it out of 2.5 inch square tubing. It is 11 gage metal, so should be fine strength wise. I am wondering if you have any advice of how to align the wheels. Do they need to be perfect? Any advise would be would be awesome. p.s. I have been reading a lot of post's, looks like their is a wealth of knowledge here. Any advise for a first timer would be great.
