You slide the gauge down to the bottom to form a right angle. Place it on the floor with ruler facing up. Read slack. And you can use it for a lot of other stuff in the workshop. You may already have one in your kit.

This is a great idea. I have the tool, just need to see if its tall enough to do the job when the bike is up on the centerstand.
While we're on the topic; does anyone else find the CB more sensitive to chain slack than other bikes? I hardly ever adjusted the chain on my Suzuki or Harley, but if I let the CB chain get just a tad too much slack, I really feel it. Especially off-throttle or downshifting.

250 miles on mine and I have adjusted it twice. ???
