Default Left side compensator assembly HELP!
I have a 2017 dyna s I had the 110 engine converted to a 124 using stock cases and an S&S crank. The lower end was built by a reputable builder. When I put on the washer against the crank bearing then the spacer then alt rotor then the splined shaft extension then the compensator sprocket. The shaft extension is even with the end of the crank shaft so there is no splines left for the sprocket retainer to engage! WTF I’m crapping myself here!!

The washer should be inside the case behind the seal.

Then the spacer goes thru the seal and against the washer.

Thats the way I have it. I think the spacer is to long! The rotor doesn’t even cover all of the stator only about half.

I even pulled the seal out to make sure the washer was against the bearing.
