Belt length differences breakout and rocker
Anyone know if there's a length difference between a breakout and rocker belt? When I started moving toward my bobber look, I noticed a divet appear in the tire from rubbing on the fender. This wear was left of center in a straight line. Adjustments to get the tire off the fender left the belt feeling too tight.
My breakout has a 250 on the tire. I know people have gotten a 250 and 60 on their rockers. Given that both share a frame and swingarm, is it possible the lengths are a tad different? I'm seeing the following differences on the microfiche:
132t breakout 96
132t breakout 103
133t all rockers.
All seem to have the same size sprockets (132t). As I look at these I'm presuming I need to put a rocker belt on to make the difference. Just need a sanity check so I don't buddy a belt doing all of this. Any thoughts?

Yes, the Rocker has a longer 133t belt.... But, I had the same problem with my Rocker when I did the 30/70 trans sprocket/rear pulley upgrade, with a Metzeler 260. It moved the wheel/tire forward to where the center of the tire was rubbing the inside front of the fender.
I had the stock fender at the time, and solved the problem by putting (4) 3/16" spacers under the mounting points of the fender, which moved/raised it up off the tire. You can give that a try 1st, might save you from having to change the belt.

The washers that are there go on the outside of the mounting points under the bolt head...The 3/16" spacers/washers go between the fender and the swingarm so it raises the fender.
