23 July 2014-
New E-Brake drum is painted and installed now with new hardware. I really wanted the drum spun and balanced to alleviate any of my previous concerns but A- it costs too much to go to a civilian balance shop and B- my past FREE WORK contacts in the U.S. Navy world have all rotated and transferred out of the 92A "Sound Analysis and Balance" Repair Shops on the ships and shore duty billets so, I'll leave my fears behind for now.
Working on the transfer case and e-brake clevis' and linkage today. Hopefully my new E-Brake band from VPW will arrive today. (fingers crossed)
Stay safe and stay happy folks!

Looking very good Dave!
You make me feel like a slacker the last two weeks.
Dave, regarding balancing the brake drum. Check local Harley shops, perhaps they can point you to a shop that does Harley flywheel balancing. Best would be to leave the hub assembled to it with index mark(s) for future work if necessary.
Looking good.
The service manual tells to adjust the band by using a feeler gauge.
The procedure sounds easy enough.
But, mine is contacting the drum in places after doing so, as the band isn't perfectly concentric.
Might need to wear in, then readjust.
You said that your drum didn't show any signs of overheating, but boy, those old springs sure look like it.
And if the brake band is not concentric and is rubbing in a few places, you may be able to "Adjust" it with some sandpaper in strategic locations. I still have this task to accomplish. No doubt, my brake band is saturated with oil. Which old one isn't ?
