There is a very good reason for not trusting the marker plates. They are loose on the spindle and it is easily possible to have one marker plate set further back than the other.

I can tell you without even looking, the plates on my bike do not match up. I can also tell you categorically, the rear wheel is aligned correctly.

It's a different story when the markers are actually on the swingarm but the SV is not like that.
