Gear ratio on Heritage Classic -08,anybody ?
Hi,anybody who know the transmissions gear ratio on Heritage Classic -08.I really would like to compare this to my Fat Bob because
i like the gear ratio on the Heritage better.My transmissions gear ratio on the FB are:
1 gear = 9,312
2 gear = 6,421
3 gear = 4,774
4 gear = 3,926
5 gear = 3,279
6 gear = 2,790
 \\;
It also would be helpful to know the size of the Heritage sprockets.
My sprocketsize are:
 \\;
Engine = 34
Clutch = 46
Transmission sprocket = 32
Rear wheel = 66
 \\;
If both transmissions and sprockets are the same it must be the tires outside diameter who is different between the bikes.Because of speedlimits and roads it is a lot of shifting gears 4-5-4-5 all the time on the FB,this was much better on the Heritage Classic i tested,i could run on the 5 gear all the time without shifting gears.

Hi,thanks for the tip \\;It looks like both the transmisson and primary drive has the same gear ratio.But how many teeth have the
belt sprockets on the Heritage ? Sorry I can´t find that info on HD,s website.

And the rear wheel on the FB is a 16".
