Is the pulley 1 1/8 wide? if it is then a 3/8 or 1/2 should maybe just make it ride from one side of the pulley or the other? At least that was the case with that cheap azz DNA **** I once owned.

Yeah those would look good as well. I was refering to the pulley hardware. I bought just your regular old grade 5 hex bolts and they looked like crap next to all that chrome. Gonna pick up a set of chrome 12 points.

Aftermarket pulleys typically require a spacer. I have had 2...my first one measured out 9/16 inch and my DNA required a 1/2 inch spacer.
It is critical that you get it right. If it's not centered you will wear your belt or even break it and it could cause other damage.

I just find it strange that I have not had this problem with any other set of Ride Wrights I have sold and there have been quite a few. I guess everyone has a day off every once in a while. It is a lot more work for me to figure this stuff out but I have spoken to Sean 4 times today and we are on the right track. Rest assured the Doc takes care of business before and after the sale. I don't think the hub on the Ride Wright is the same size as that of the pulley on the DNA. Anyone who has seen both knows that they look completely different.

Most other companies wouldn't give you the time of day after a sale is done.
Thanks again Drew. Shoot me a PM for pricing on a Shotgun when you get a chance. That's up next!

No problem Sean. I hate it when people sell me something and disappear into the wood work. There is nothing worse or that makes you feel more "taken." Pm on teh way for teh shotgun.

You bet your *** I do! Those will all come later. For now I'm trying to get all the big ticket items out of the way ie wheels, pipes, bars, suspension etc... Then I will move onto the details.
