EricInNCa Well, after reading the very detailed step by step process, I have to say: Awesome write up Alan!
I always planned on switching mine out and then I just happened to take my bike to the dealership due to an inner shifter shaft oil leak. While they were taking care of that for me, they discovered that my stator was fried. I went ahead and had them swap the pulley while they had things apart. It looks like I'm glad I did. It's a great mod.
Again, Great write up and the photos were most excellent! Kudos!

Thanks for the great write-up with pics. I did the 30T change on my '07 FLHT and was impressed with the new feel of the bike. I bought the 30T for my '09 FXDF and am gathering a few other parts before getting into it. We had to heat the nut to finally get it to break loose on the FLHT, so I think this time I am going to drill it and cut it off.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

To be honest I don't think I would ever be in 6th gear at 60mph, but according to the Andrews chart(all this info is some math formula) I would be at 2395 rpm and on the old 32T it would be 2251 rpm.
I generally shift into 6th at 60mph as long as I'm not in a situation where I need to be accelerating or climbing any hills. Another couple hundred rpm would be nice there, 5th is just a little to low, and 6th is just a little too high. Might have to do the 30t next winter.

I did mine all on the jack, and heck yea the bike moved. When I did anything that required high torque I lowered the jack till both tires were firmly on the ground but the bike was still standing upright. At times I even had my Son pushing down on the end that wanted to come up.
