It seems like the HD Wheel should have just come with one sproket on it if that's how it was supposed to work??? I didn't get any instructions to it seemed extremely obvious to put the cassette from my mountain bike rear wheel onto the hub. What else would I do, the chain has to hook up to something.
Now, the idea of removing the cassette is a problem. On rebuild number 14 or 15 I'm not sure which version it was back just before I got the belt drive, I had to remove a cassette (which had been put on as a hack job, little bearings leaking out everywhere, and I had to grind a large chisel down until it fit in and bit on the teeth in there just right) ok so taking off that same cassette was accomplished by applying so much torque that the inner part of the hub just folded and mangled instead of it unscrewing.
I'm not going into those yuppie's at the bike shop and paying $50 bucks and waiting 5 days either, just to get the sucker off. If it comes to having to do that, I'll get out the 12 gauge and have a goodbye ceremony instead cause this has been a long long stupid expensive trip and I'm about to go insane just trying to put a motor on a bike.
