Default Sprocket teeth finish

First

time pulling the wheel on my 07 Road King. It appears the finish on the sprocket teeth has come off in places. Belt looks ok. Normal?

Looks familiar to me! I've had several belt-drive Harleys and they have all looked like that after a while. I haven't noticed just when they get that way, but some owners reckon on getting 100k miles out of a belt and pulleys, so ride on!
