Are there any problems with checking the alignment on the right side while the bike is on it's sidestand?

You need to check both sides at the same time with the bike upright. Get a rear stand, have someone sit on it, or work around the center stand.

I've always used two aluminum straight edges.

1. gravity may distort your stick
2. differing tire pressures and tire types will influence sidewall flex
