Cheaper and less work
works well on lighter FX series bikes
Did it on both evolutions I owned
87 firs-se & 90 fxrt
Would this work equally well on a '96 FLSTN with Harley SE-3 cams, SE Ignition and AC? Thanks.

It will net approx. 6.5 % reduction as your bike has a 65T rear stock instead of 70T on FXR
So yes, it will work fine.
I do not know if it would require a belt change

Unless you change sprocket sizes, the belt stays the same.
