regearing
Has any one tried the 27 tooth front belt sprocket on a 1200 custome. Ours in a 2003 and comes stock with a 29 tooth front sprocket. It would slow down the top end some, but does it make it easier to take off in 1st gear for the wife.

RE: regearing
it will probally help some, cause it changes the overall gear ratio, i did the opposite, went from a 27 to 30 to get more high gear. but i never rode 2 up with the sporty, just make sure you get one for the correct year of your ride, the had a habbit of changing shaft sizes. the v-twin catalogue has some for around 100 bucks
good luck!

RE: regearing
mine was an 883 , now a 1200, and i kept the stock 27 tooth pulley. i can still hit 120 but man is it quick on takeoff. the only downside is on a long ride with BTs, they are cruisin at 80-85 mph and my bike is revved the whole way. it does fine, but i'm thinkin a lot of wear on the motor.

RE: regearing
Them B/T's and me would part ways real quick, I am not interested one bit in getting where I'm goin in a hurry when on my Sporty. The whole idea is the ride, is to me anyway, WTF is the hurry?
