Anyone have a slick trick to align wheels? It seems to me a string line will be a PITA.

Lining up the wheels is basic motorcycle maintenance. You are also correctly lining up the chain and sprockets at the same time.
The straightedge method is described in a couple of old workshop manuals I have here.
