motor trike rear end problem

[Big Hustla]

I have a Motor Trike kit on my 2001 Electra Glide. I converted it to a chain drive because I've broken 2 belts in the past year. I do all of my work myself so I've taken it apart several times before. However, after replacing the sprocket and getting the bike put back together, I went to do the test ride and the bike would not move. Chain is turning the rear sprocket but the wheels will not move. I'm certain I stabbed the axles properly and have them seated. Any ideals of what the problem could be? Rear wheels are just free spinning. Any help would be appreciated. Not looking forward to taking this thing apart again without any ideal of what the problem could be.
