at 78,000 miles getting new belt and stock front pulley ( 30tooth) . can I use the 68tooth (stock 08 is 66t) from an 09 up touring without any mods and stock belt length (137tooth belt)? I pull a trailer and seems sixth gear is a little tall most of the 65 mph cruise time.....thanks

 

Different pulleys (besides tooth count)...09-later pulleys for integral Cush Drive (IDS) aren't the same as the 08 bolt-on Cush Drive

 

thanks for the reply. I know the 09 touring has two more teeth, but my o8 is not a bolt on rear pulley. I know the rim widths are different, so I am not sure if the front pulley offset or rear spacers are diff. I would like two things. gear it a little lower with a larger rear pulley (2-3 teeth)and not spend list price for a new pulley and bearing.

 

It's NOT a bolt-on pulley...2008 has a bolt-on drive system.

Below is from one of my previous posts

 

thanks for the clarification. I'm not a parts changer let alone a mechanic. your effort and results and explanation are fully appreciated by me. thanks and happy motoring!
