If you do decide to do it, be advised that the clutch hub nut is left handed threads.

Thanks for the info, but I don't have air tools. I'll just bite the bullet on this one.

A $100 is more than a fair price to do this.

I agree. I've done a few stators and IF I had a indy that would do it for $100 I wouldn't think twice. You guys forgot about one extra tool, a coat hanger.

$100 is a steal. Of course this has to be plus parts. If you go with the same output stator you can reuse the rotor if it has no damage or signs of wear. A lot of people say you should replace the regulator also. Are you confident in his abilities?

This guy is old school and the best Indy around. He's worked on my bike before and everyone I know uses him as well - pretty much anyone within 100 miles comes to this guy. It's not uncommon to 75 - 100K choppers in his shop.

Pretty straightforward...no need to remove the inner primary or grind...just watch your fingers when you replace the rotor!

Unless your '07 is completly different from my '99, Ol' Iron is either smokin' the specialy good chit, or off/on medication...as the situation dictates.

No need to pull the inner primary...ya'd have to have the stator off to pull it in the first place!!!!!!

You can get some very useful information on this forum...but you've gotta weed through a lot of keyboard commando mechanics.

Any "grinding" that would have to be done would be to the inside edge of the inner primary cover. This is necessary sometimes for clearance when you pull the rotor. Mine had been ground prior.

It ain't no big deal....make sure you talk with someone who's done it!

$100 is a good deal, but you can learn a little sumptin and save the bux.

Just sayin'
