I didn't disassemble the clutch but it looks like it should be ready to slide off. The compensator, clutch, chain, amd tensioner all come off as one big assembly.
A second pair of hands may be helpful.
Make sure you have somewhere clean and stable to set it down.
It just slides over the splines but it's a very close fit. You can't have much misalignment of the sprockets or it will bind. If the clutch won't budge you might need to tap the starter ring gear a bit to break it loose. A lead or brass mallet would be best. Plastic otherwise. You don't want to mess up the gear teeth. Shouldn't take much at all.
Too late now, but I ordered all my bits and pieces from PBI and Vulcan and been extremely happy with quality, price, and service from both. Never took more than a few days to get what I ordered.
Youre not going really wide so it shouldnt be an issue on the sprocket end, but before you loctite and torque the sprocket, make double sure you've got all the alignments and clearances you need. I'd suggest test fitting the entire secondary drive with chain and inner primary and tire just to make sure.
Despite my upfront measurements, my first two attempts had interferences that required new or modified parts.
I got my kit from bulletproof cycles and it had everything I needed. Also this job goes so much easier if you just buy a table lift. Also didn't have to buy a locking tool, two Harley techs told me to use and old screw driver to put in between the sprocket and chain of the clutch and compensator. Worked like a charm. Now for the front pulley of the belt use just a butane torch and for the love of god just get a good impact( I borrowed one from a buddy). Also this was the best thing I've done to my bike. For those of you saying chains are loud, have you ever ridden a Harley? It's loud to begin with. I can't here mine chain at all.

I looked at those but wanted a different ratio than the kits offered, as well as the EK 3D chain. I think I saved a little bit of money as well piecing it together. Now I definitely need another impact because the cordless isn't cutting it for that front pulley. I'm guessing it's because I'm using a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter in order to fit that specialty socket. Yet another road block...

Yep I'm making due with what I've got or can borrow haha.
So I got the front pulley off and it looks like the inner diameter of the front sprocket I ordered is too small. I picked up the PBI 283-22 1/2" offset. Does anyone know which one is the correct one?
I've got both a 288 and a 281. Both fit the output shaft splines properly. The 288 is on the bike, but I can measure the 281 tomorrow if you need.
Its a very, very close fit over the splines.
You do have the stock 5 speed right?
The 28x series will all have the same spline dimensions...other than the narrow width ones. They would still fit, but there would be less spline engagement.
