Default Changing final drive (pulley swaps)

Has anyone done a drive or driven pulley swap on an 07 bagger?

I find that 6th doesnt come until well above my normal cruising speed, even in the passing lane, and wondering if anyone has attempted to gear it down for more snap and better use of 6th gear

If so, how much did you go and was it all moco parts?

Thanks in advance

Default RE: Changing final drive (pulley swaps)

I was also looking for a way to change the gearing on my '07 ultra. I posted the following a few days ago: https://www.hdforums.com/m_2261099/tm.htm

It looks like the one of theways to change the gearing is to install a 30-tooth transmission pulley. It should bring the gearing down to 3.36-3.37 instead on the stock 3.15.

I will probably go this route if and when my belt breaks
