Dual Sportster build
I had some time to look at the gears under the timing cover today and it seems very obvious to me which gear is off. The question is whether or not I'll be able to remove that gear and move it over one tooth over without disturbing the rest of the timing.
On a positive note, there are marks from a paint marker on the gears, but there are also stamped marks from the factory. This tells me this bike was apart, which tells me that there is a chance that this bike was indeed turned into a 1200. The more I look at the color of the cylinders, the more I think they were changed. Someone took the time to paint the heads of the cylinder head bolts too so...
I'll be settled in Ohio next week sometime and I'll get a look at these gears and see if I can square them away. If it's not something I'm going to be comfortable doing, I'll have someone else do it. This gear has to be off though. It makes sense.
