2012 road glide custom

Just put in a new stator which involved removing all drive components and inner primary. Install went well and took her around the block with no issues. Now though my OCD is kicking in as I forgot to verify the "this side out" of the compensator gear is in fact facing out. Everything bolted up fine. Chain looked like it was lined up.

I know an option is to pull cover to check again which I will most likely do again when I have the chance. But figured I'd see if anyone has any info.

Can you install that gear backwards? Does the chain still line up?

I'm like 95% sure I installed it correctly but was rushed to finish before night. Really kicking myself as I'm usually good about checking that stuff..

 

I have OCD and have learned to take picture with my phone before and after. I put a SE comp in once and had the springs in like paper cups. I didnt start it, took it apart again. Dont feel bad. Call a tech who does alot. Some of the guys on this forum our sharp. Piece of Mind has no price!

 

relax you cannot install backwards splines are not cut across entire gear if you put in backwards comp would not go on

 

Thanks everyone for replying. I pulled it apart this morning before reading responses. Good news is it is all good. My brain sure likes to play tricks on me!!
