Any Fatboy riders know if this is just for aftermarket applications?
Got to one of the online dealers with a parts fiche. I use ronnies. Also your service manual will have a detailed exploded diagram. You do have your manual now don't you?

Does anybody know if this will fit a 1998 Fatboy? (FLSTF)

I’m going to put this chrome cover over it -

different tooth count might require a belt change.

I got my new OEM pulley in today. Before I begin removing the wheel, I wanted to ask if anyone knows what manufacturer my old pulley is? I want to speak to them about this. I could not find any identifying marks on the inside or outside of the pulley.

Drop any idea of recovering anything on that pulley,think China made bought on eBay through any number of sellees not to mention the bolts coming loose compromised the pulley in the first place.

I wanted to see if I could get "money back" from them, but I'm not worried about it. I got an OEM pulley in the mail today. If I use chrome washers and bolts, does that change the torque spec?
