Looking really good. Did your flywheel pass the twist test or is it shot? I know its pricey but a good time to replace it now.

Going to be anxious to see how your bearing looks when you get it out. Take your time and triple check you have everything locked down, and for what its worth, loosen all three of your cam chain tensioners. It really does make a big deal.

Waiting to see your next installment!

Split apart pulley lock so that it will clear the power top motor shroud and insert into teardrop shaped hole on pulley.





Reattach red handle.
