I gotta apologize for the poor quality of these photos, my poor little digital camera is on life support now. Sometimes it takes great shots, other times it looks like I took the pictures with a $15.00 cell phone. Here's what we did on Tommy's bike today......
A little wiggling here and there with the trans plate, and on went the Softail inner primary, and the starter motor. It was a tight fit with the starter motor to the swingarm, but we have 5/16" clearance between the two. You could probably get away with 11" shocks (we're running 13" FLT OEM air shocks), and still not hit the starter with the swingarm at full shock travel. 10" shocks? No way. Next.......
...... in goes Tommy's old enclosed Softail BDL belt drive. No problems, everything fit as before, lined right up, and.......
Done! I'm going to wait until I get the 4.2 gal. flatside tanks, the 4sp swingarm OEM square oil tank, and the rear fender/bobbed fender rails mounted - each one of those components will need a little minor fiddling with to fit, then I'll post more progress pictures. I gotta get a new camera......
You'd have to be the most self critical, perfectionist in Blogland Rich . . .
