I believe by 2010, the factory pulley was a 68 tooth pulley. You would not change performance any be exchanging one 68 tooth pulley for another 68 tooth pulley.

Sportsters use a solid-mount pulley, bolted direct to the rear wheel hub. Your bike uses a rubber cush-drive pulley. Tooth count has nothing to do with fit, a Sporty pulley will not fit your cush-drive wheel. Check details on a parts website, where you can see the basic differences in the two designs.

I'm so glad you pointed this out, saved me some major headaches. I appreciate your input GTbrown!! Can you give me a suggestion then should I look for a pulley with more teeth or the same?

I'm not sure there are many options available to you. What would you like to achieve?
