Default Changing Pulley Ratio on Touring Bike

I have searched the forum and found a lot of information about changing the front and/or rear pulley on Dynas and Sportsters. I know it would also add a little performance for a Road King to change the pulley ratio on a touring bike. I have the 2007 RK and I think it was the first year for the 6 speed. Anyone here change the front 32Tpulley from the stock pulley to a smaller 30T pulley on a touring bike? Everything is apart right now and this would be a good time to make the move.

No, but when I gotta replace the rear tire on my '07, I'm goin' with a Sporty 68 tooth rear. Need a little more low-end sack, although I DID do a nice torque cam.

I went to an Andrews 31T on my Road King, but I also went with a 65T rear and 133T belt from a 90's Softail to get me around 3000 RPM at 75 MPH. No need for a 6-speed anymore.

On my 2008, I used a 31 tooth front sprocket from a tri-glide and the 69 tooth rear sprocket from a Jap sportster. There is one with the IDS and one without. 2007 did not have IDS. It can be added. I was able to use the stock belt this way. I couldn't be happier with the results.
