HELP ! Part 2
OK, I got the heritage tore down. The 132 tooth belt will not work. apparently someone changed the front pulley to a 29 tooth from the stock 32 tooth. The Harley Hut says they did it for "Quicker Acceleration". So now I have no idea what size belt to use. A 126 tooth was on it but way to tight and it broke, so 128, 129 ? Do they even make odd numbers? I'm lost. The 132 tooth was WAY to big. so I know the 130 tooth, which it calls for stock will also be to big.why would'nt they just change the rear pulley to change gear ratio? It would have been a lot easier and cheaper! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME !!??

If the rear is still stock (please check) and the front is 3 teeth smaller than stock, you want to go with 1.5 or 2 teeth shorter than stock on the belt.
Please count the teeth on both ends. It sound like morons were involved here.

Figured out
Thanks for the advice "The Troupe",
I found the correct front pulley (32T) on ebay for a steal. Also, I found a Harley (Gates) 130T belt with less than a 1000 miles on it, also a steal, so I will return it to its original form for a GREAT price, (less than 100 bucks), and go from there.
I think you were right on the Morons statement...
