Will be changing the belts on the trike and want to install a 4 deg. T/W while I'm in there. Shoot me a PM if you have one, preferably the brand with square cut trigger teeth.

John if you just shave the notch down about 1 or 2 thousands and put it back on its the same as a 4 degree. I do have a picture somewhere and its Big BF that could give you more information.

John,

Sorry, my friend... no spares... Now it's widely known this rider-only knows nothing about mechanical stuff... Therefore it is easily understandable that I'm a bit confused here... The only TW I've ever seen was round, as in circular... Was that a 360 degree wheel then...?  coolsmiley

I got cha Brother...
see how the "teeth" on this trigger wheel are pretty squared off at the top? This is OEM and aids in cold starts. Alot of the aftermarket 4° and 6° trigger wheels had more rounded teeth and made it harder to pick up the sig pulses which can in turn cause cold start problems.
It was for this reason that we "modified" the keyway tab on my factory trigger wheel in the IS by removing 0.045" using this... method to achieve a 6° advance over factory.

(gave the big ol' dresser a wicked outta-the-hole-shot! Cool
but admittedly killed the "pulling" power above 105 mph Undecided)
