Default Sportster final gearing change?

Anybody changed their Sportster 2004-up 68 cog rear pulley to the earlier, 1999-2003, 61 cog pulley? What belt did you use and where did you get it? I see that J&P sells the necessary rear pulley spacer for this conversion but their tech dept does not know anything about what belt to use when keeping the stock 29 front pulley. Changing the front pulley is out for me so this is my only option. Any help? Thx!

WHY???

HD sells the 30 2004+ International sprocket (PN: 40380-04 about $55) from the Japan market at the dealer and it fits like stock you can use the stock belt there is enough room in the adjustment...

also there is a guy who sells the 32T sprocket he MAKES.... its strong... a good alternative for the 883 guys who want the 1200 gearing without a huge cost to swap over primary chain, comp sprocket.... and 29T drive sprocket!
