Looking good. Make sure that there is some clearance between the inside of the motor sprocket and the aftermarket oilseal housing and the allen heads that hold it on. Mine had to be machined to clear. It will be much heavier when done.

Up on stands today.
The one "G" bolt corrected with file down of hex head, then it pulled into case as needed.

Installed gear cluster after several tries and curse words. Once it slips in, you wonder what the issue was.

Gearbox cover applied sealant and used G99 bolts around the 8 locations, then safety wired.

This gear box appears to have a stiff shift with indicator lever as compared to others.
What have I heard about the spring being modified with a "vice" treatment?
