Default which belt?

OK, I need some help from the mechmos! I'm looking at changing the front and rear drive pulleys and need some help on what size belt to replace the 139T with. I'll be installin a 34T front and 65T rear pulley and am not sure if need to use a 135 or 136T belt. These are going on a 99 FLHPI with the stock 5 speed. Figured to try going this way first before thinking about the 6 speed. I do a lot ( about 700 miles a week) of distance driving and not much around town. Looking for longer legs and lower RPMs. Any and all advice is appriciated.

Default RE: which belt?

that swap might be able to use the 139T belt orjust find a 61T pully of a softtail and use the 135T belt that pully requires a 4T shorter belt i have done that same swap changing the rear pully to the 61T and 132T belt from the 70T pully and the 136T belt on a earlier bagger, 9T pully drop only required a 4T shorter belt, good luck..............
