Don't take my word for it. Read all the threads, yourself--they're pretty easy to search. The bikes that have had trouble with this have been highly modified (as in vastly more HP) and worked on by amateurs, and the bikes are generally having the **** beat out of them, rode like they'd been stolen.

Thanks again and ride safe.

Really? I was under the impression that this was something that came up on lots of these bikes. I'm happy that I was apparently wrong.
So just to be clear, if I buy a new FXDC and leave it factory-stock this issue shouldn't be a problem?
Thanks for the clarification and info.

I have a 2009 softail night train and I have experienced my pulley bolts shearing.. Long story short is my wheel and pulley is toast. Does anyone know what the part number would be for the ARP pulley bolts? I do not want this to ever happen again and want to use some bolts such as ARP.. Secondly, does anyone know the measurements on a pulley bolt for my bike? Since all mine broke off I need to find out..
Thanks everyone so much for the help

No, you'll need H-D p/n 3109 Screw, 7/16-14 X 2-5/8 hex cap w/washer, lock patch.
Go here to ask ARP if they have this size bolts:

I had this happen to my 06 streetbob this weekend 3 weeks after it's 10K service visit... Is it possible that when they inspect those bolts that perhaps they are accidentally cracking them without knowing it when they check the torque?,,, I understand that check is done at the 10K interval.
