What happened to "I'll do my homework on the gearing"?
After all the advice you got from everyone, you're "on your own"?
I did decipher what you wrote, mostly. Very helpful. But I still have questions.
Seemed like the help when done when you said you give up and I didn't get a reply to my last one. Maybe you're just busy.
It will be a lot harder to do this without the experienced help I get here. But either way I will do it.

Yes, new to Harleys at 62. Got interested in bikes maybe 6 years ago and rebuilt a Triumph Choppa and stock BSA Lighting.
Also fixed up a little Italian Indian for the woods and have another custom Triumph in the works.
I bought this 45" as a "basket case" you could say. Lots of good parts. Just want to built a reliable and funky little flatty
and try out some performance mods, keep it light and maybe it will surprise people.
Sure i'll run into problems. That the challange and the fun. Lots to learn.
It
will get done, I'm sure of that.
No particular hurry on the transmission. I have a '65 case with cut off "ears", that should work with the aftermarket adjuster.
Paugho says on their site that they work up to '69 so I would hope they would know although I still wonder whats wrong with
later ones up to '76, say with the shorter mainshaft. But I'm a Newb so what would I know.
