Default Screwed the pooch.

So I messed up. Cut twice measure once. I know better, but apparently not this time.

Thought it'd be awesome to put some deuce-style wheels on my fxd...bought a sprocket, bought the wheels. This is going to be awesome, right? WRONG!

My current sprocket ID measures at 2-1/4" center, 70t.
The one I ordered fits at 2" center, but has around 60-65t. My belt's too big. ****.

Now I'm not exactly sure HOW to look for this sprocket.

This is the wheel that I bought if anyone's curious.

How would I find a 70t sprocket with a 2" inner hole?
I've spent the last two hours talking to different shops in the state regarding what kind of sprocket this is. I'm sure they make them for the guys who go to the 70-30 conversion. I dont know what to do.

Yes, and it looks like an amazing wheel that will look beautiful on my fxd.

Past that...well...I think we know the answer to that...

edit: Unless you were talking about my link. In which case...I fixed it...hahaha.

The only way is to fabricate an adapter of some sort. If you wait someone will chime in with an answer.

Yeah. I spent about two hours on the phone with various Harley stores in the state looking for a deuce sprocket. Then I had the sense to ask how big the center hole was...2-1/4"...only to come here to find out that "HEY! Pre-2k wheels are different from post-2k wheels." I just got done with dinner after explaining how preposterous it was that NO ONE from the parts/service dept at the harley shop knew about this...it was a level of stress that was lifted off my shoulders, cause here I was thinking my already modified wheel was no good to use...I had to buy another etc...etc...etc...

I agree with you. This place is awesome.
