1993 was the first year they all went belt drive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-..._by_model_year

1991 883 Hugger and 1200 had belt, the standard 883 XLH went to belt in 1993 as I recall.

My buddy bought a 1990 Hugger and had the belt kit installed, think the 91-92 kit would work.

I've got a 1991 XLH that I bought new with chain drive.
