Progressive 440 13 inch, belt adjustment?
Salut
I have a FXDL 2008.
I will receive my progressive 440 13 inch rear shock, and I am looking for the proper procedure to adjust my belt. I know that the new geometry will change the belt tension, so I need a new adjustment for belt deflection. Is there someone that have experience with 13 inch shocks, and know the proper deflection?
Thanks

Belt Tension
Just tighten it till you can only twist it about 1/8 of a turn (if the belt is laying flat, like it rides, you can only twist it 45 degrees).
BTW make sure you adjust both sides the same so that the wheel is square to the swingarm.
