Hi: Here is some info from my service manual;
I also have articles about the effects about changing front and or rear gears if you want to read PM me. The largest front gear I have been able to find for a sportster is 30 teeth which if you have a 29 tooth will reduce engine rpmby about 6%. Larger gears are only speced for the larger twins. Please keep me up to date on your hunt for rear pulleys.

Some Softails have pulleys with the same 1.125 belt width as the Sportster. The key is to get one with 65 teeth rather than 70; one of those, coupled with a 30-tooth front pulley, will significantly drop RPM at cruising speeds. Changing the front pulley alone won't make much difference on a 1200, as 30 teeth is the largest that will fit without internal case modifications.
As for alignment, V-Twin markets spacers for that purpose.
Does anyone know the part number for a 65-tooth 2000-05 1.125-inch Softail pulley? I've been looking, but all I've come across are 70-tooth units.
