I was given a new Arlen Ness Billet Pulley from my brother and was thinking about using it on my dresser since my stock pulley has seen better days. I am curious to other peoples opinion about using billet pulley’s, are they just for show or is there actually a benefit to using a billet pulley? The reason I am asking this is, I ride a large number of miles a year and I don’t need any headaches, my thought on this is based by looking at the two and the billet pulley looks to be a serious piece of aluminum compared to the stock piece of crap. I can’t believe they get $500.00 for one of these, talk about highway robbery.

 

Naw, them billet one's are junk. Just send it to me and I'll dispose of it!!

 

You now have another piece of aluminum to polish.Mine is the perfect addition to the look of my hot rod.Sorry,cannot seem to find the time to figure out why I can't post pictures.

 

I've had both and they both do the job.....the billet is a waste of $ if its on a bagger (if you are paying for it) IMO

 

True, you can't see them on a bagger anyways, I bought one a shop had laying around for $50 it was nice looking thing, but I sold it on Ebay for $250. could not of seen in under the bags

 

but if you ever have your bag off and showing off your bike!!!!!!

 

I never take my bag off in public

 

Thanks for the replies, well it's going on my bagger, the only reason that I am putting it on my bagger is because it was an inheritance from my brothers estate. It really is a shame that you can’t see it, but I really am not concerned about the looks as much as I am function.

 

I didn't buy the matching rear pulley or rotor when I ordered my wheels. Like others have said, it isn't seen plus I already have the HD floating rotor. Now I did buy the matching rotors for the front.

 

You'll know its there, that's cool [sm=biker.gif]
