Default Evo Softail, pulley question...

I have a 99 Fat Boy, I'm ordering some new wheels, matching rotors and pulley... They asked me how many thoot my pulley was... does any of you guys know how many does the softail Evo '99 has as OEM???

I certainly would not want to take the rear tire off in order to find out...

Mimo.

Pull the belt cover off, jack up the rear of the bike, color one off the lugs and start counting. If you have a repair manual it should be in there. In my opinion the best way is to count them then you are 100% sure, but if you want to make some gearing changes this would be the time to think about it. I hope this helps

Softails are all over the place, but according to J&P Cycles, '95 to '99 Softails all had 65 tooth rear wheel pulleys.

Now that is the one thing I didn't wanted to hear...
