If you take those oil lines off at the crankcase, it should give you room.

Maneuver the starter motor with the lug rotated forward, once it's plugged in, rotate the starter motor into position for the 'lug' bolt.

You are the winner Speeddog, thank you!! It turns out I wasn't turning the starter in the wrong direction enough to get it into place. Removing the bottom oil cooler line gives enough clearance to maneuver the thing. Removing the starter gear set is not necessary at all.

Now the arduous task of putting it all back together.

Thanks for the help Dog, et al!!

Odd situation, early bikes it's no issue on install.
Ducati changed some stuff and created problems, big shocker there.

The HM1100 engine has a hollow pin, long bolt and big washer.
Of course there's no threads on the pin, and it's flush with the gear, so it doesn't come out easy at all.

So to put a bow around this saga, the starter is in and the bike is back up and running! I took it out yesterday for a shake down ride and everything seems normal!

I appreciate everyone's help here.

One last question: Should I put Blue Loctite on all of the crankcase bolts? I used Red on all of the internal bolts bit I am wondering about the external ones.

Thank again everyone!
