New front Belt Pulley
Hey guys,
I've done some searching and reading. Most post are dyna's or older touring... Looking for some recent info.
Looking to change gearing by going with a 30 tooth front belt pully. Think I'm gonna need a 139 tooth belt. I was gonna get this 30 tooth pulley.
HD Part number 83595-11
Anyone do this recently on a touring bike?? How you like it??

30t reply
I changed mine to the 30t and I think it is my best mod for the money spent. I did mine myself for under a hundred bucks. I used a die grinder to remove about 3/16'' from the rear of the swingarm adjustment slot and added a piece of 3/8'' square barstock in front of the adjustment cam. This allowed me to keep the stock belt which I thought was important when traveling in case of a broken belt. It also saves you $$$. Only downside is speedometer is a little fast but I see you have Power Vision and you can correct it with that. Cruise and sixth gear light still works. Hope this helps. Allyn

Rhonda you say your cruise and 6th gear light still function,I was under the understanding that you would lose those features when doing this swap,that is the only reson I have not done this mod yet.
