Hey Mike! I have a question. I have an 84 fxr, and I just got done re-doing my whole primary. My question is, how can I check the chain alignment to see what spacer I require? In one of your videos you said to take a look at how centered the chain is to the sprocket but is there a way to measure it with a caliper or it doesn't matter as long as it's visually close to center as possible
