Question Shaft size

Is it possible to use a 88 cubic inch primary chain drive on a wide glide?

Don't understand the question. The primary chain fits on the motor (compensator) and clutch shell sprockets. What shaft are you talking about?

Wide glides (and Dynas as a whole) used to be 88 inches. You're gonna have to come up with a little more info.

The shaft I’m referring to is the one that the clutch hub fits onto and the compensator.

So you're asking about 2 shafts- compensator and clutch hub. Right?
Let's start with what bike the primary chain came from and what year bike is it going on.

Try this link. It may help to identify the parts you're asking about and see if the part numbers are the same. https://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche...artsfinder.htm

What I really need to know is will the compensator sprocket and the clutch hub from an 88 cubic inch road king fit a 93 Wide Glide? Thanks for sharing info.

I am posting pics of the shaft that is on the 93 Dyna and a pic of the 88cu clutch hub. Yes I’m talking about two shaft. One the compensator sprocket goes on and the other the clutch hub would go on. Will they fit the 93 Dyna?


This is the 88 cubic inch clutch hub from the Road King.

Couple things that's all aftermarket stuff in those pictures so, front pulley may be the same but the belt length won't be and the rear hub won't interchange starter setup is different.

Road King was a short primary, the wide glide is longer.

Way too much mix and match on the parts, go all one brand or you'll regret it with a belt drive.

Looks like what you have there is a belt drive set up.
You are trying to go back to a stock type chain drive?
And you want to use a chain, compensator, and clutch hub off some unknown Twin Cam to put into your '93 Dyna.
Correct?
