We all have limitations; glad you know yours. I would suggest though that your suppositions regarding johnjzjz are really, I mean really, off base. You should check/ask for people's backgrounds before slinging $hit out there.

And if I have somehow misconstrued your meaning, I apologize up front...

I don't want to "think" it's done right, I want to know it was.

I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want to know how to work on this bike from A to Z, and very few people are going to take as much care with your stuff as you will.

HEY! Quit being a "detective!" BWAAAAA!

I NEVER in my entire 50 years disassembled an engine before I dove into the 1995 FLHTP I rebuilt (not to the extent of yours).

THIS site walked me through EVERY step, and when she was back together, she ran stronger and better than I could have hoped for.

Hang in there "detective"

these guys will help you "git er done"...........

Hang in there mate! You don't need any special tools just to take a look and even the ones you do need can be hired or borrowed. If the bearings are not damaged it can go back together right away.

And thanks for the offer but I think I will stick around.
