Yeah, don't do a top-end job like it did thinking it was my motor when all it was was the stupid tank vent tube :)

I know torques are correct. The "professional" that helped tonight also was the one who helped with the earlier primary work and he was teaching me step by step. He is a PHD certified 20+ year Harley Tech. All values were adhered to. Tensioner is correct as well seeing as that was part of an earlier class with him and it was my test with this one to make sure it was right. Also the clutch adjustment is correct as well, that was about six lessons ago. Now for the transmission main shaft shim I am not really certain??? We never removed the pressed on spacer / race (requires puller) but the sprocket and chain assembly (front and rear were obviously removed) to get the inner off. Not sure as to what you are refering to. Also have ridden the bike a couple of hundred miles since we did all of this before the chirping. I will also tell you the wheel was a bit caddywhompass when we tightend the belt??? Measured off of dead middle of the axle to the rear of the frame and evened it out.

Meant to say wheel was off BEFORE we tightened the belt.

The shim brings the Clutch hub out to better align with the drive hub. The back side of some clutch assemblies were grinding against inner primary. If you rode a couple hundred miles since having the primary apart I would doubt that the shim was an issue. However, if the engine mounts (top and bottom) are tight and belt is adjusted correct. It is alawys possible that the clutch hub nut has worked loose (seems to be several reports of this, even when proper red loctite and torque was used). Since you say the chirp is comming from the primary, something is off in there?
