Final Drive - Evo/5 Speed
Ive got a 96 FXSTC. Supposed to have 32T Transmission & 65T RR wheel Sprocket.
Im thinking of going up to a 34T Transmission sprocket and down to a 61T RR wheel sprocket to lower the RPM's significantly at 65 MPH+ as Highway is what I travel most.
Question: Where can I find a 61T RR Wheel sprocket online? It has to be able to hold my 1-1/2"wide final drive belt & mount direct to my Stock FXSTC. I found on a site that some 93-99 Softails had 61T RR sprockets but did not designate what models exactly or anything, I would prefer to find a Used one.
Thanks Bo

I bought my 1990 Glide new, here in the UK, so it is an International spec. It came with a 32T front pulley and 61T rear. That size was not used in North America AFAIK, so I suspect you will have difficulty finding one.
I now have stock US gearing of 32/70 as well as an S&S engine, with over 100/100! Gearing is fine and much improved over the original, which frankly was too tall and killed performance.
Turning to your bike, at 32/65 you already have pretty tall gearing IMHO. Going to 34/61 represents a further increase of 13%. Your bike is fine running at it's current engine speed and if you ride regularly on highways you should be wearing ear plugs. Best tuning aid known to man!
