If the clutch is already out of the way can't think of any reason starter couldn't come off with the housing.  But with cables attached and whatever else might be in the way I'd unscrew the two bolts and leave it there.  Pretty sure it'd be easier to leave it there rather than take it out with the inner primary.

It's absolutely easier to remove the two starter mounting fasteners than to try and leave the starter attached to the inner primary....

Has anyone tried grinding the inside of the case to gain enough clearance ?

Many have done so.  Very little material needs to be removed to provide clearance for the rotor.

I'd not grind clearance without first having removed the inner, however, as I don't think there are very many places in your primary you'd want metal grinding dust to invade...

It can be done............ It doesn't take a lot of grinding with carbide bit to get it to clear. I wasn't going to tell I did this once....

FWIW I have tried to remove the rotor on my '11 and it does contact the inner primary.

Dammit Scott...  I was accused (again... [oy vey]) just a week or so ago of being a big dick and not being nearly touchy-feely and caring enough when trying to be helpful.  So here I am trying to be less direct and more subtle and nuanced and other such nonsensical bullchit and what happens?  You tell the guy the obvious and don't use any extra words at all....  Geez...  At least I'm not the overly direct asshole this time !

I had to take my 81 year old father to a doctor appointment today, so I guess I'm in a very "direct" frame of mind...

I understand and am not worthy .

This is what I found on changing out the compensator, rotor/stator etc.

Just a little grinding, not too much at all.

[dano]

I just did the same thing. Took about 5 minutes to do. Sure beats taking the inner off

[Rupert]

This is what my indy did, 5 min job.
IRT grinding, just take usual precautions in the surounding area. The rotor is coming off and you will be cleaning any metal on the stator magnets anyway.

[dano]

I used a vacuum the same time I was grinding then cleaned everything with brake cleaner and an air hose after that

[ltank]

I have used two nails bent slightly more than 90° and two vise grip pliers to hold the nails.The nails are inserted into the holes. Easy/Cheap

This is only anecdotal.  So don't take it as gospel.  I've removed a few of the 06 and up stators and never had to remove the inner primary for the R&R.  Having said that have read of several instances where guys said they had to.  This included guys whose patience/skills were those I'd trust to know for sure what they were seeing.  Don't know if there's a difference in inner primaries over the years or (and this wouldn't surprise me from Harley at all) a slight casting variation that causes this on some and doesn't on others; but yours is not the first that's been discussed with this issue.

Kinda like the 103 with the cam fly cuts?

2 Allen wrenches with pliers/V. Grips  on each works well also for removal
