On my CG125 I solved this problem in Blue Peter style (except no sticky-back-plastic)
Take 1 length of straight copper pipe and cut in half, balance it on your finger as tape-measure evades my sight.
Add a block of wood and mix with cable ties.
On the SV you will need to season this recipe with a paddock stand...




When the pipe - tyre gap at the front is equal (I had tracked the tape-measure down at this point) your alignment is set, rotate the tyre to lift the pipe off the wood then gently put it back down to double check that the pipe is not 'dragging' and giving false readings.
