All locked down,,still need to bend the safety tab. Clutch rod bushing and seal installed too. MikesXS guide was spot on. No issues there. Also cleaned and checked all the areas suggested by the guru's here,,no issues found.

Finally I pulled the rear wheel,,,and swapped the old rear sprocket for a new 31 tooth. I figgered why just replace one right? Should lower rooms at highway speed but since I'm not running a tach,,gonna be a seat of the pants report.
Now I'm done for today,,

It may be an optical illusion or the angle of your pic, but the lock washer under the sprocket nut looks off center. If it is then it probably isn't locked on the splines of the countershaft under the nut any more. It won't work like that. It's easy for it to slip off because the splines don't stick out much past the sprocket.

I noticed that after looking. The lock washer must have slipped while tightening it. I'm done for the day,,lol. It was 105 in the garage when I opened it up.

The guys at Pawpaw's Tool Talk (forum) would be interested in seeing that pic of the Gedore wrench, and would provide info on it. I'm a member there.

There used to be a wonderful flea market here that I loved going to. It got flooded out years back, and all of the regular's stuff from inside the building got ruined. They tried to reopen, but it never got back to where it was, and eventually closed for good. I always get excited when I see flea markets, but they're never what I hope they're going to be when I stop.

Almost finished. Its mocked up with the rear wheel on to see about exact spacing. I need 2, spacers1/8th inches thick yet for each side. I also need to get longer bolts to run thru the saddles to push on the axle plates.
While apart I tightened and loctited all bolts that were there. Then trimmed the fender where the chain passes as there were rub marks on it. Don't wanna snag a fender with the chain,,that would be bad.
