I looked for a thread but came up empty.On a 2009 Tri Glide if dropping two teeth on the front pulley,can you use the stock drive belt.

I am assuming you are wanting to lower your gearing. Have you considered dropping 2 teeth on the motor sprocket. A lot easier to do this and a bit cheaper on the pocket book. Give Evolution industries a call and they can help you out and give you some stats on what mph you would be running in diff gears. Only draw back is that you may or may not loose your cruise control. For sure you will loose your 6 gear light. Im not sure on the belt to fit if you go your way but a new belt would be as expensive as the gearing set up in the primary i am talking about. Hope this help. Booggerbe

the 32 to 30 tooth switch was very common for the 09/10. The stock belt was retained.

Yes. I did it when I changed mine.

JMO, when making pulley changes, I do believe the computer is not capable of reading the speed vs the RPM any more, y'all may lose the 6th gear light and ur cruise as fickle as it can be may not like the change in Rpm either.

A friend from Canada and 1 from Daytona got together and had made a clutch hub to change their gearing, this works, The friend from Daytona was able to figure out how to over write the ECM. Baker was listening, Tho I dunno if they were up on this, I do know this set up works, even with cruise. I have ridden 1 of the said bikes, and saw the other 1

When changing the front belt pulley, you keep your cruise control and 6th gear light. It does change the speedometer calibration. I corrected mine using my Power Vision.

Very Good info, However in a few cases this does not always work

Baker and HD said it was sometimes a glitch in some software, I dunno I have seen a few bikes that did NOT respond or like this change
