Default Transmission pulley change question


SO I finally tore the teeth off of my stock belt. And I’m in need of a new one. I’ve bee looking at upgrading the front pulley to the 30 tooth from a tri-glide. And stil keep the stock size 66. Tooth rear pulley. Can it still work if I drop just one tooth on the belt?? Reading the post up top says it can only be done on a dyna with a 131t.... will it work on my softail?

I dont see you having a problem. I would make sure your belt is adjusted properly. according to the manual using a spring scale they require 10 lbs. you can get a belt adj. tool on Amazon for like 18 bucks
