If you don't use a plug gap tool how do you measure plug gap?

No.
I don't think I ever modeled clothes except for when I was a kid and mom wanted to make sure they fit.
I'm not sure if that counts though.

Hey everyone, need a little help, it's an easy one.
First let me say I'm new to the forum and I am not a mechanic, I'm a computer guy, but I'm eager to learn. Title says it all. Starting with a little simple maintenance before I take her out for the season, going to change the spark plugs and need to know the plug gap.
Got a 1996 FLSTF, bone stock as far as I know, was told it may have been jetted (?) when the previous owner installed V&H short shots but not sure.. I've searched the forums and Google and can't get a straight answer. Hoping my fellow EVO owners can shed some light.
Thanks!

The jets to be running with a stock cam, as a general rule, is .045 lo speed and .165 hi speed.
I don't know if they are still available but a Yost Power Tube, jets described above, and drilling out the mixture screw cover, and setting mixture is (not sure how many turns to back out after u run it all the way in) will result in an excellent carb setup
