I'm thinking of getting rid of the final chain drive, and reverting to a belt. Could someone please measure the distance, center to center, from front pulley to rear pulley of their 2006-10 Sportster? I am assuming these years are all the same swingarm??
I have found offset belt pulleys to use, but need this measurement to see what belts are available for the stretch I have, or what else I might need to do, such as stretching my swingarm further to match a belt.
Thanks!

 

bump??

 

I tried to measure mine but the only one I have that year fully assembled also has the front pulley cover on it so I can't get an accurate measurement.

I heard the the belts are something like 1/2" per tooth and if you're ordering per teeth that should get you what you need. You might want to confirm that unit measurement though.

 

Thanks. I hadn't thought about the covers, since I haven't had one on mine for a few years it just slipped my mind.
I'm actually trying to verify the stretch on my swingarm. I seem to remember it stating a 2" stretch, but just wanted to compare to another bike.
But yea, the cover would make that difficult. Thanks tho!

 

I have swingarms.

From the center of the front pivot bolt to the center of the adjuster area is 18".

 

THANKS!! That will definitly help me out!

 

There are calculators to figuring out belt length. Here's a link to one. http://www.roadlessgear.com/html/tec...gth/index.php3

 

I know this was posted in September, but was wondering if you did it yet. I too have a 2" stretch on my swingarm, and am using a final drive belt from 2000 and up softails. hope this helps...keep in mind that I have a 2002 sporty, so if yours came stock with a belt, then you can still use that.
