If you look REAL close at the bottom left bolt hole, you might be able to see it looks different.
I broke the the bolt off in there :baldy
Thanks to Steve telling me to use PB Blaster on the remaining two that were stuck, they came right out easily.

So Steve and I pulled the bell housing off...
(http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-vJXd3vB/0/L/IMG4301-L.jpg)
And took these to the machine shop to save it.

As it sits now.

Holy cow. I've torn quite a few of these puppies apart and have never seen a ribbed clutch basket like that.
Looks like it's "ribbed for her pleasure." (TM - Trojan Condoms.) ;D

:o
:snort

I'm surprised that the clutch bucket shows that much wear and the trans splines don't look too bad. If my splines had looked like that I would not have replaced my input shaft when I had to replace my clutch. My input splines were worn to a knife edge on the back haft of the shaft. Ok to use short term but not something that you would depend on long term.

I was too!
Mine was like your's when I did this.

Saturday dawns and I'm up early in the garage. While waiting for parts to arrive I finish some small projects on my K11 then start cleaning parts from Smithy's bike.

The clutch nut on the right is the old one.

Then Smithy arrived ready to get to work.

For some reason Chris liked this chicken so he wanted it in some pics. He tried to explain it to me but I'm sorry Chris I just didn't get it.

Tapping in the new seal, or Smithy in his natural state with a hammer in his hand.

Using the same alignment tool I used in High Level in 2006.

Pulled out the old shaft seal.

Chris brought a home made drift which worked great.

I struggle horribly with taking the written word and forming pictures with them in my head when it comes to directions. Chris had the misfortune to witness this first hand. Sorry for making this part stressful.
(http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-bvw7Q4v/0/L/IMG4349-L.jpg)
Now I need to back up just a little bit here.
While Chris and I were struggling to get the intermediate housing in place on the back of the engine, it kept hanging up. So Chris calls Jon D., and while they were talking I kept trying to seal the housing.
As I pulled it off to start again to attempt yet again to get it on the crankshaft gear and spring fell out!
"Holy SHIT! Dammitallthehell" - I believe those we're my exact words.
See, what Christ didn't know was before he arrived I had called Morton's BMW about some parts for myself and they asked me what I was doing, so I told them.
When the tech understood where I was working on the bike, he said, "Listen, there's a flat disk spring behind the crankshaft gear and if it falls out it can go in right or wrong equally well".
"If you put it in wrong, you won't know it's wrong until it's all back together. Listen, if it falls out, give us a call before we close at 5 and we'll talk you through putting it in right".
The only saving grace was that I had touched those gears the other day and in doing so discovered that that gear could be pushed in slightly and it would spring back.
So Chris and I start trial placements (after I get my poop in a group) and were able to get it in oriented correctly (up/down) and flipped in on the shaft right.
So from there things go fairly quickly.

Dude!! It's only 12 Nm.
(http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-D4zGFmm/0/L/IMG4357-L.jpg)
Chris started calling my digital torque wrench the "Boss" because it's badassed and always right.
When in doubt, apply leverage.

Aligning the cush drive to the alternator dog was a PITA, just sayin' .

Who would have thought the shock of all things would give us a real us that much trouble.

(http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-qDxMJsC/0/L/IMG4365-L.jpg)
But we were saved by Steverino who showed up and directed our efforts with great effect.

It will wait here for the replacement rear cowling we broke when moving it.
(http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-hjfZxWN/0/L/IMG4367-L.jpg)
Good times indeed.

"For some reason Chris liked this chicken so he wanted it in some pics. He tried to explain it to me but I'm sorry Chris I just didn't get it."
Looks like memorabilia from Tom Cutter's famous Rubber Chicken Racing garage in Yardley PA just north of Philly. Good reputation for his work on airheads.

Shoganai, please excuse this hijack, just wanted to post it was very nice meeting you at VIR. I enjoyed the visit and good luck with your future bike plans ;). Hope to see you again down the road!
Cheers

And likewise Bob. ;D
Now in my best Paul Harvey voice..."And now you know… the rest of the story."(http://shoganai.smugmug.com/photos/247307518_PVa9k-Th.gif)

And side/battery covers?

You say that aligning the cush drive is a real pain. What I do is clean all bits and apply a drop of super glue on each of the six monkey nuts and stick them into the alloy housing and the rest is easy.

I have used black rtv to set mine. You know "a little dab-ll do ya"
A little more forgiving than superglue.
