Thank you,Mike. It's very much appreciated. I talked to GMR Performance yesterday and they quoted me approximately three hours to change out the pulley.

That's not a bad rate, GMR is also a good shop.

I have a 2020 Tri Glide and Im thinking I would rather have the 32 tooth sprocket. The 114 ci engine has more than enough power to pull the taller gearing without turning such high rpm

There are other things to consider other than running down the freeway .
With the taller gearing there will also be more clutch slipping while driving around town.
The clutch should be able to handle the extra demand, but there is more torque there to cause more chance of slippage.
Just something to consider. Might not present any problem at all.

The extra rpm doesn't hurt anything. Changing to a 32T front pulley is an expensive undertaking also, probably $600 or more. It's a big job.

Well I disagree I dont think Im going to have to slip the clutch anymore than I do now which is only to smooth out engine pulses when tuning a corner.I was a Harley tech for 42 years so Im thinking it wont be that expensive for a pulley gaskets and seals.

Well, you kinda failed to mention you were capable of doing the labor. Go for it and let us know the results.
