Different Pulley Options ?
First off - I thank all of you that contribute all the good info that is used by myself and others here on the site....
I tend to post a lot of threadsin regards to changes and options for us sportster nuts out here ......
My next one is this - Pulley Options - What are our choices?? How many teeth ???
What are some of the best places to shop for these, beside; Harley, & Drag Specialties...
My biggest question is this.... what are the specs for a 2007 bike.... how many teeth...?? Is that the biggest concern?
I know, I'm a pain... but if anyone has answers.... i would appreciate the help

Actually only cosmetic.... but now you just brought up an interesting theory.... because the one thing that kinda bothers me about sporties is that they run high on the RPM's even though I'm not going all that fast....
I didn't know; nor think that this could possible help with keeping down the RPM's....
hmmmm

I went from a 29 to a 30 on my 06 1200R. It dropped my rpm by about 250. Most guys go the other way to have more pick up. I have plenty of power and pull the extra tooth fine. International bikes come with a 30t. For me, dropping 250 rpms was where I wanted to be at my normal high-way speed. Got mine from H.D. steel, not aluminum, $62. It's up to you, 27,28,29 or 30t.

RE: Different Pulley Options ?
thats funny, i would have thought that it would have been the other way.... the lower the number teeth,( matching the front sprocket ) would lower the rpm's.....

The rear used to be 61t. I think it is more for the 2004 and newer models.
Your choices are limited. Mostly because folks are happy with chrome covers.
Get a tachometer before you mess with the rpm of the bike much. You don't want to be running under 2500 rpm. You may think the sound and feel is good but you will ruin the engine.
