Im getting working on getting the wide glide running, however Im in a bit of a dilemma, probably why the PO never got it going. The inner primary cover is the issue, it musta spun a bearing and the PO had it welded however they never finished the job its just a blob of weld. Ive been looking for used inner primaries only to find out they are extremely rare. I believe the HD pn is 60444-84 I know it has casting numbers X30-00085. Anyway Ive decided to get rid of the belt drive and go with chain and sprockets because I have a brand new Shovelhead chrome inner primary cover. At this point Im looking at what sprocket sizes to get. Im thinking 49/24??
A little confused hear.. This 85 WG is it an Evo with 4 or 5 speed? Are you looking for an inner primary setup? 24/37... Or the secondary drive?... A 24/49 secondary would give you an overall ratio of 3.15:1.. A 23/49 would be my choice with an over ratio of 3.28:1
An 85 FXWG inner primary is part number 60414-84.. And pretty sure it's a 4 speed and with that a 23 sprocket on the rear is as big as you want to go because the chain will wear into the inner primary housing..

Thanks Bud, unless someone happens to have a rear belt front chain inner primary Ill stay rear belt, otherwise Im going to run secondary chain and sprockets. And yes it is a 4 speed.
