Default Bagger Belt Drive
Well I got bored yesterday and when I went to replace the starter drive gear on the Yellow bagger, I thought "What the hell, let's put a belt drive on it". I had one in stock for another project so I did it. I took pictures as it went along and will post them hopefully tonight. It is an Ultima 2" belt drive for FLT, FLH, and FXR's. Installation was a snap, with no modifications needed and you can still use the stock floorboards!!! Took me about 5.5- 6 hours total, and that was with taking pictures, etc.

Looks impressive John, but not very weather tight! Is there a version for British weather?!

Ok here we go, first you need to strip off all the original inner and outer primary and related pieces.

Make sure you inventory the kit to ensure all the parts are there. The kit contains all the needed pieces and are first quality billet and polished with a 2' belt. This allows you to use the stock floorboards.

Here we have the inner plate fitted (you may need to tap it in place with a rubber mallet), you need to remove the inner race from the tranny mainshaft. the front pulley has been assembled and slid on. There are various offsets available, but if you are replacing a stock primary the one that comes with the kit will do. There are bolts to secure it and they are all packaged and labeled making it an easy task. The instructions are very easy to read and fairly detailed. Red and blue Loc-tite should be used and torque specs in the instructions should be followed.

Now we've added the front plate which has the boss on it for the shifter. The fit and finish were good on all the pieces.

The clutch basket is slid on and the alignment checked as per the instructions. Next you assemble the clutch and install the belt belt.
