Here is video 1 of what I think will be 3 videos. More to come...this should help folks who have never done it before. I hope...

Looks good Bronko.

On bikes with hard lifters I like to loosen the adjusters all the way loose. Removes most of that spring back action on the right cam and it's a good time to readjust the tappets while the head covers are off anyhow.
 
:clapping: :good:
Nice!! Thanks for taking the time to do these vids....they're helpful. :yes:
 
Nice video, would have been nice to view this before my first time changing the belts on a Wing. :good: My tightening sequence is a little different, :hihihi: but not any better. :nea: The big thing is getting everything lined up, & adjusted. :yes: Too tight will cook the bearings, too loose will wipe out the teeth on the belt. :roll:

That was my wife! She did a wonderful job...

:thanks:
+1 :good:
 
The final video shows the valve adjustment and how to determine if the engine is on TDC of the compression stroke for cylinder number 1, which is probably the toughest part of the whole job. Once you understand how to determine that the adjustment could not be easier.
