Well, I would like to say it all turned out peachy.... but that is not the case. As I stated previously, this whole situation was odd.
So... the mainshaft was damaged and that ran me another $600. The bike is in storage now, I guess we shall see what the results are in the spring.
Here are pictures of the parts that were replaced, including the sprocket work I requested and the mainshaft work that was necessary.
As you can see in the last picture, the groove worn in the mainshaft was the real damage.
The Service Manager (Shane) at Southampton Harley told me the new parts with bearings are using a better quality bearing, and this should not happen again... I hope he is right. He did not think that the primary chain tensioner needed replacement, and that it was probably poor quality bearings not the tensioner that caused all this.
In the end, I have yet another bill to pay which I am not happy about.
I was, however, able to get another exhaust header pipe for free from the takeoff pile. It had the chrome exhaust shield by the catalytic converter, and mine is a little messed up there. Yiiipppeeeeee.
