Default Installed Chrome Inner Primary and 30 tooth

I installed the chrome inner primary and 30 tooth sprocket yesterday.

By the way, the generator doesnt have to come off to remove or install the inner primary.








Pretty cool job to do. I liked it.
Rode around with some freinds afterward. And to my amazement it didnt leak or make any funky noises.
Higher RPMabout 3000 RPM at 75MPH.

Thanks Dawg for your help.

Where did you get the 30 tooth inner primary kit and how much was it? I also have an '08 Street Glide and as much as I like having 6 gears I feel they are all too tall. It sounds like this is a great solution to gearing it down.

Does it affect your MPG in a very negative way?
