Cool 2004 Bagger Front Pulley Regear

First: What's the stock tooth count on a 2004 road glide?
Second: How many teeth can I go down and not have to change the belt(is there enough adjustment in the wheel)?

Thanks guys thinking bout switching to the baker aluminum.

the stock front pulley is 32T


have you considered changing the rear?

I used a 65T on my evo FLHTC for an overdrive. stock 70T, no belt swap was required.
You need to look at your adjusters and be sure that you have about an inch of space on there to take up the slack





my FXR runs a 60T for a 15% overdrive- this is a lightweight bike with plenty, plenty grunt...I did this when changing belts and had to use a softail belt to make it work...that was about 1992.

both the 65T and 60T were H-D parts made for other models. swapping a rear pulley takes about 1/10 the time of pulling the primary

I can;t help you with part numbers..I think your 2004 was 1st year of narrow belt(?).

Awesome thanks for all the info guys.

Right now the bike has a 21t compensator sprocket and the rear pulley is chrome and matched the rims($$$$), so that's the main reason why that can't be switched.

My plan is to switch back to the 25t comp. sprocket and change to a front 30t (light weight aluminum) baker in hopes of picking up my MPH at the strip.

chuck the custom pulley for a chain drive then.

gives you alot of gearing flexibility and a chain is more robust

OK, so I ended up pulling the trigger on the Baker aluminum 30tpulley (used code Forum2013 to save 20%).

I have a 139t 1-1/8" belt, so by removing the 2 teeth I need a 137t belt to be in the stock place. I can't find that tooth count belt. I know another count would work, but I want to try to keep the wheel in same place if I can.

WHAT BELT SHOULD I GET?

you should have room on your adjuster to make up 2 teeth, and stay with your current belt.

unless you want to pull your swingarm off, is it time to service it?

It's the 2004 Road Glide cam style rear axle adjuster......no way to adjust for 2 teeth drop, only 1 tooth max (my dyna, yah it was no problem).

I think I found the 137 tooth at Dennis Kirk https://www.denniskirk.com/drag-spec...prd/020286.sku

It should work since it's 137t and 1-1/8"wide

Went from 32 tooth to 30 on 2012 and had to go from 140 tooth to a 139. 140 too long and 138 too short. You can go down 1 tooth and maintain the same length. I think the 2004 touring is 137 tooth but not sure. It may take up but doubt it. Some grind out the axle slot and weld up the tightening cam and regrind. I would consider a Gates Poly Chain as the Falcon belt is Carbon Fiber. Real strong but lacks long life as the carbon fibers start breaking over time and don't last nearly as long as the Gates which is Kevlar fiber.
