I snugged them on a bit more and then bent the tabs over as best as I could what with the messed up angle for the punch.

Bend the tabs with a pliers, not a punch. Get the bend on the tab started before you install, snug the bolt up to the point where the tab will fall on one of the flats of the bolt head, place one of the jaws of the pliers on the opposite flat, squeeze, and draw the tab up on to the head of the bolt.

Looks like you don't have the correct bolt at the top of the gearbox, not a big issue, but there does need to be a spacer between the cradle and the top of the gearbox on the drive side to center the gearbox properly.



This has been an issue with many transmission mounting problems.

And I can personally vouch for the fact that if that spacer is not there, the tranny will not be aligned properly with the engine/rear wheel and the drive sprocket/chain will carve a nice groove in the inner chaincase.

Mike,
Thanks, I saw your problem with that and I have been careful to watch that issue on my rebuild.

Thanks guys. When I bought this bike 4 years ago I was assured it was in great shape with a fresh rebuild.

Thus far it has stranded me twice and had a top and bottom end rebuild.

Off the to the shop on monday I guess to find a spacer...for now I guess I will be pulling the primary back off
