I bought the pulley.....
So lets talk belts.
I just received my 34 tooth trans pulley for my 1996 Low Rider. Before I install it I want to make sure I have everything I need so its not laying in pieces in the garage waiting for parts (if I don't have a shop install it). My first question is the belt. Am I correct that all Evo Dyna's run a 133 tooth belt? If thats correct, can I reuse the 133 tooth belt when I swap the stock 32 tooth pulley with my new 34 tooth pulley? If not, is the 135 tooth belt the correct one?
Second, the ebay auction seemed to imply that the sale of this pulley was just the pulley and not any other parts needed to install it. What other parts would I need? Like exactly what else could I need?
Thanks, Neil

If you have room in front of the axle to move it forward, you should be able to use the stock belt. As long as you have the pulley off this would be a good time to replace the tranny seal and be sure to clean/inspect the inner race/spacer too. Of course replace all the gaskets, o-rings, and seals too. Hope this helps.

Read away my friend, looses or gains 1/4" per tooth on the swing arm adjustment, I kept the stock belt with a 2 tooth loss and have some adjustment left. Going the other way, if you can get the belt over the rear pulley, you will be ok.

Thanks for all the replies. They are a huge help! Based on the two charts it looks like we are talking right about a 1/4 inch adjustment forward. That being said I have this as a quandary. I just looked at my swing arm. There is absolutely no question I have at least a 1/4 inch of adjustment left, but I am a bit worried. Currently the axle is not centered in the swing arm. If I were to describe a perfectly centered axle as being 50%, then mine is probably at 30%, or the 1/3 third forward point. And as you can see in my sig pic, the wheel does seem to look as if its a tad forward in the fender. Is this enough reason to say f-it.... get a 135 tooth belt, or is that stuff just not a big deal now-a-days?
Please advise.

1/4" per tooth, that is a 1/2" of axle movement, should still fit but the tire will be further forward in that fender, might be a good time for a new belt and a tad longer.

Yeah, I agree.
I think you guys are right. A belt is not all that much money and mine is already 15 years old. I am just gonna buy the 135 1-1/2 inch belt and do the belt, pulley and seals all at one time. Then its a done deal and ready for another 15 years of service. Plus the drop in RPM on the interstate will make me forget this whole ordeal in a hurry. To be honest, I am not gonna do this job myself now anyways.... I have decided to take it to my Indy. He can have the bike, the pile of parts and a check. Problem solved.

Talk to him before you buy parts , some of us get a bit odd when somebody brings in box full who knows what and we are the bad guys if it doesn't work out . Bet if go over things with him ahead of time price will be close or better and he'll have more heart into it believe me .
