FYI, the 66T is for a 1.125" wide belt.

From what ai’ve learned. Bigger rear final drive pulley is always a good fit to any engine mod. Move all that torque where you need it most... Right as you start spinnin the throttle grip
Combined with a smaller spool in front makes it even better

Ok, I was hoping you weren't gonna use your fat belt on that 66T pulley.

What do you mean you're getting a cush system? Are you changing the whole rear wheel, axle, and swingarm too?

Edit: Well I'll be damned, looks like Harley's gone cush drive on the rear pulley! You gotta let us know how the install goes.

Install should be straight forward. I need to pick up a swing arm kit to adapt the '08 swing arm to my '96 frame. Transmission pulley is the same on both models, 33 tooth.

No, cush drive. The metrics have had them since the 80's.
