interesting, I must have missed that when I remove/installed mine. My service manual simply gave a torque spec, and it was actually a lot lower than I would have expected it to be. Anyway I reused mine, but if the SM says to discard, I'd listen to it.

because I'm big Into stunt riding. Wheelies and such. We're setting up shows for the upcoming spring/summer/fall and most places have small parking lots, so More torque will make it easier to hit 12 o clock in short lots 🤘🏼

Get a huge rear wheel sprocket and let the air outa the rear tire! Stunters love this combo.

Years ago, I was a member of North County Lunatix. Wonder where they are now....

First rule of thumb for Harley ownership: always make sure run/kill switch is not set to "OFF" so you don't look like an idiot trying to start your bike.

Second rule of thumb: NEVER reuse pulley or rotor bolts.
