Re: Dyna install
Octane’s writeup is excellent and will definitely get you up & running. I would add that once you have things setup that you go back and remove the left cam belt cover, install a degree wheel (randakk sells one that makes things pretty easy, cheaply made but works 100%) and do the timing dynamically with a timing light.
As several have commented that setting the timing staticly as in Octanes write-up tends to over advance the timing, does it make a big difference ? Probably not ! But for me, my opinion is that things seem to run better when set dynamically, a big plus is that using the degree wheel allows you a more precise setup picture particularly for the balance between the 2 cylinder sets. It’s the only way I do my bikes anymore. But again, if you simply follow Octanes write-up you can’t go wrong but imho doing it dynamically gives a smoother running bike. My .02

Re: Dyna install
so still having fun here. On Octanes excellent install post he refers to the removal of the cam ;sleeve as tricky. After two days of trying to get it off can anyone tell me what the trick is?

Re: Dyna install
I am assuming you have the advance mechanism off of the bike at this point. First, with one hand, spread both weights to the max and carefully pry the cam off using a small screwdriver with the other hand. On some, it is easier to remove the weights by removing the E-Clips and sliding off the weights. If you do this, be careful not to loose the tiny, thin shims. The earliest wings had a pin on the shaft so you will need to grind/cut this off with a Dremel tool if you have one.

Re: Dyna install
Cedrick if I ever make it through all this it will only be because of your more than generous mentoring. got it off and the Dyna mounted. Onwards and upwards
