Default FLSTF Front End Fall Away Procedure- Help

Hi
I am hoping someone can help me "visualise" how to identify and mark the fall awayof the front fork on a 2004 FB.

I have read the procedures explained in the many posts on the topic but cant for the life of me understandthe pointer part and where to mark the inches at the time the fork falls away.

Do I put masking tape on the front lip of the fender or the back lip of the fender?
Whatdo I use as a pointer? and where do I locate the pointer ? behind the wheel or in front on the wheel?

I justdont get this part?

Thanks
Fred
