rear pulley interchange
While I was riding home last night my belt gaurd broke off and went through the tranny pulley and the rear wheel pulley. Some where in that time it broke the belt and let the axle shift. I am pulling everything apart tomorrow and finding out what needs replaced and what is salvageable. I now the rear pulley is bad, teeth broke and galled up pretty bad.
My question is what year can I go up to from a 1988 flhs and still be the same part? Also if my clutch shaft hasn't been upgraded to the newer style how much would that run me?

Hi Ogre,
Sorry to hear of your problem and best of luck fixing it quick. The rear pulley and gearbox pulley are the same as my 1990 bike, according to my parts list, but I'm not sure if later ones will fit. You should replace the gearbox pulley at the same time.
I'm still running the original factory clutch with my S&S 107 (with a stronger Barnett spring), so I'm not sure there is any really good reason to change your shaft and clutch! You'd have to strip the entire gearbox to install. I know Harley changed the gearbox substantially in the early 90s and rearranged the ratios, so it is possible the later shaft will not fit your (and my) bike.

Man that sux! Was it the original plastic guard or a metal one?
84 thru 99 on the rear sprocket, 84 thru 93 on the front. 94 - 06 may work. Seems they changed the locknut arrangement on those - that'd take some research but maybe some of the other guys know about that. 136 tooth, 1.5" wide on the belt.
You could pickup a decent tranny gearset (used) for nearly the price of the shaft only, and then you'd be needing a totally different and entire clutch assembly. If you're not having reccuring probs with the clutch hub, I'd leave that alone...

Thanks for the reply guys. The bike had a lot of problems with the clutch before I bought it, kept breaking basket and messing up the shaft. It was resolved right before I bought it and has been trouble free for 3 years.
Buddy WMC, thanks for the offer but I have a 95 rear pulley and was wondering if it would fit.
Hopefully I am just looking at a belt, a gaurd, and both pulleys.
On another note luckily when the belt let go it didn't even put a scratch in my freshly painted bags or fender.

Got the bike tore down to the primary but I had to order the puller for the clutch. from the looks of it I might not need a front pulley. Found the pulley and belt guard on ebay so I should be good to go.
