With luck the Red Top might do it.

I have heard that it fits an XS so it should fit your Classic with the XS
engine mount, that will give enough extra room.
The manual I have talks of "the crankshaft locking screw (part no 240 880)

There is a screw in the crankcase, LHS forard , take it out and you'll see
the crankshaft has a hole to take the locking screw, so find a screw long
enough to reach the hole, turn the crankshaft until the screw enters the
locking hole.
