BELT/TIRE Rubbing
BELT/TIRE Rubbing
Morning.., I purchased a 03 EG when I changed out my rear rim from stock to 18...., the could hear the belt rubbing the tire. when pushing it back/forward.... just recentlt when I had the bags off, cleaning and inspecting I can see where the belt has been rubbing the tire..I may have ran it 500 miles. the tire is a 150/70/18. Would a smaller tire correct this..., if so what size. Or do I have another issue. The rim is straight.

If you verify all is installed right, you can always buy a pulley spacer. Drag Specialties carries them so any dealer/shop should be able to get it.
Rear wheel spacers would be hard to mix up. Wide one on pulley side, narrow one on brake side.

Doubt it is tire alignment.
Your bike came stock with a 130 I guess?
Awhile back Harley released a kit that would allow the use of a 150 on the rear of your bike.
Think it was just pulleys and belt or something.
As stated above, find a pulley spacer or maybe the HD kit.
