Only thing I can figure out is that this is a sport bike forum and the bike is at a different angle.

Maybe on the side stand?
Since ours gets adjusted on the center stand, the distance from ground to swing arm will always be the same. Easy to make a piece that slides right under there. Just make the straw piece an inch an a quarter long. It will have to be moved up the dowel with each slight adjustment though.
Ok took some quick measurements...from center of swing arm pivot to center of rear axle is approx 22 inches, so mid way between would be 11 inches. At that point, while on the center stand I have 14 inches of clearance between ground and swing arm. As long as the dowel sticks up no further than that i'd be good to go.
And yes Spaceman I find my CB extremely sensitive to chain adjustment, but still in 6300 miles I've adjusted it twice I think... But it's due again I can tell.
