Very good practical points to check from Pekingduck as usual, Delboy has a good amount of information but some of it is just made up by him, i watched the video with the packing tape if that is the one you refer to, i would not check my bike using that method.
One of the ways i now find useful on the cb1100 is the method using a thin string, it attaches to one of the front disks, loops once around the rear tire and ends on the other front disk.
The front wheel needs to be straight but is not too critical if the lowest part of the disks is used and won't work with the bike on the centerstand which is in the way, i've tried it.
It has better accuracy instead of using the markers on the swingarm, you may just try this method;

If nothing can be found try riding on the other side of the road to verify it is not the camber in the road that allows for the rain to run off, here in nz it is very pronounced.
