Toit like a toiger
Well afer a few hours of adjusting, I believe the CCT is set perfect, as it makes no clicks and no whizzing sound. The first rev's it was clicking (meaning the chain had too much slack), so I kept tightening it. Then clicking went away, but a whizzing sound (kind of like a big turbo winding up and then down) started. This I figured was the noise meaning it was too tight. After loosening up the bolt again, the whizzing stopped and the clicking started again. 20 frustrating minutes later, Both noises stopped and all I could hear was engine noise. I literally put my ear to the cams to hear for any noises. All I heard was the cylinders pumping. So I dabbed some thread lock on the bolt and tightened the 2nd bold down on the CCT and took her for a test spin. At all the stops I made i just keps revving and holdint it around 3k rpm to hear any clicking, and heard nothing out of the ordinary. I then continued to ride for 30 minutes or so with my new micron bolt on just to hear how it sounds when you twist your wrist. Needless to say I was not dissapointed. The engine seems toit like a toiger now!

Thank you all for your help and suggestions!!!
Much easier to explain in person, but here goes nothing:Gas Man said:
I adjusted the big bolt so that it was right above the weld obstrutcion, but still able enough to manuver inside the CCT fitting (the hole you put the CCT in). Once that is in, I looseley fastened the top bolt so that it stays in place, but you could move the CCT side to side, allowing enough room to fit a socket or closed wrench around the big bolt. I used a closed end socket or wrench so all I would do is scratch the frame/wrench and protect the bolt from any stripping from rubbing on the frame. I tightened it up so it past the weld. Once thats done I put the bottom bolt on (with my swivel sockets, conventional sockets/wrenches wont allow you to get a good surface contact and started to strip the bolts) and tightenend them both up, leaving the big bolt free and clear of any obstructions. I thought to myself, there is only 1 way to get this thing in, and I just figured it out. Once it passed that certain point, I was good to go. Major PITA, but I got it to work.
