Default How to check crank runout bfore warranty expires

I have an early 07 FLH that had the whine and clatter that was talked about over and over on this forum.I did all the usual fixes,bike runs excellent.Only have 7000 miles on motor,seems to run better the more broken in it gets.My question is how do I check the crank run-out myself? What is the current spec. limit?I have been reading more and more posts about crankshaft problems lately,wanted to make sure mine wont give me problems down the road after the warranty expires this june.Bike doesnt exhibit any symptoms of a bottom end problem.Thanks
