Engine Center line?

Took the motor out of old Cop bike (KZ1000 J motor) to use it in homebuild chopper frame. But I never checked how the motor aligns in the frame. I assume the cam chain tunnel would be considered the center of the motor. But could someone please check for me. Check if the cam chain tunnel aligns with the top frame tube, coming from the steering head.
Thanks in advance

yes thats the crank center line,left side of motor sticks out a little farther because of stator cover. B)
