I used the HD trike 30t on my 2012 SG.....running an Andrews 57h cam....the gearing really woke the bike up....1st gear always felt a lil sluggish off the line....especially while pulling a trailer.....Go for it....You'll love it! As mentioned above you will need to recalibrate your speedo....I was able to do it through my tts....I also went with the slotted swing arm with welded gusset...kept the stock belt....no regrets here

By slotting the swing arm I assume your saying to remover some material so the axle can slide back further to take up the slack in the belt?

Now what do you guys think?
look into the Rivera Primo Game Changer. You wont have to go into your primary and even better,no worries using an inferior quality non oe belt.if you are determined to do the 30 t pulley.go for the extra $$ and get a Baker . It's a precision machined block of steel as opposed to the HD cast iron. Quieter,cleaner and 2 lbs lighter. You're gonna love the lower gearing,whichever method you choose.
