Or, alternatively........If that doesn't work, simply refit the footpeg, hold the bike upright from the front and whilst pushing it backwards, let go and make sure it falls on the right side, landing on the footpeg!!!

If you need further adjustment, just repeat the above process until you're satisfied that its straight!!!

If you overdo it, just push it forwards and drop it again!

I'll get my (carbon) coat!!

Done the same as Rattler here, use the original rearset etc, only bolt one point at a time, place large scaffolding tube, etc over footpeg and lever the bracket back into position, repeat on next mounting point...... voila, 10 minute job.
