Narrow versus wide drive belt
Why did HD change to the narrow drive belt and what year. Is it because the newer belts are Kevlar versus the older rubber design. What is the replacement interval for each??

The first softail belts where 1.5"
In 2000 they went to 1.125 because they went from a 130 to 150 tire.
In 2006 they went to 20mm to fit the 200 tire.
This applies to FX softails
