Not sure if they will help but, let me know if you want scans of the service manual pages for alignment and belt deflection. Should be the same or similar for your bike. I'll probably have to email them to you. Too large to fit here.

Donnie, image below, 1-5 for rear wheel alignment.
(there's another page for drivetrain and front)

Belt tension is very important.

I won't post the image here, unless you want me to.
Requires special tool.

It can be done by feel, if you are very familiar with correct tension.

I believe Pancoast has a pretty good feel technique,
have someone help you that knows what they are doing.

Great info Mud
I was wondering if maybe a finishing nail was pushed thru the grommet would make it easier to eyeball (for us visually challenged). Just a thought
