from the center of the swingarm bolt to the center of the axel is the right way the measurement it and the blet should have 10lbs of pressure on it thats 1/2 to 1/4" up on the blet with the bikes wheel on the ground you can go a hair to the right if you have to. but don't go to tigth its not good for the blet.
