Lift brackets- drive belt adjustment

[jimdog1356]

Getting ready to install Dennis' lift brackets and have a question. What effect will these have on the drive belt deflection? Belt spec is very tight - 3/8 to 7/16. Do I need to adjust belt afterwards? Thanks.

No need to adjust the belt...Will not affect it at all...

+1 what Trent said. I can vouch for it on 2 different TGs.

+1 on what the other posters stated.

I also have never had to adjust belt on any nor heard of anyone to date that has had to.
Get them on and enjoy.

Put the lifts on about 5 thousand miles ago , like said by others no adjustment necessary ThumbUp

As everyone else has said, the belt tension won't change. The installation of the lift brackets is simple and straight forward.

My belt rubbed the battery box prior to putting on the lifts. Had the dealership fix that by installing a new swingarm (under warranty). I put Dennis' lifts now the rubbing is back. Any ideas for a fix? 09 Ultra Lehman Conversion.

First post, welcome, might want to say hi or something.

Not sure how the brackets, that move the swingarm (and top side of belt) further away from the upper frame, would be cause the problem? Didn't know anyone other than Triglides were using the bracket.

Good luck figuring it out. Let us know what you find out.

I have made 3 sets special for these by special request. They are a bit different than those used by the stock TGs. The first two did not note any clearance problems.
As I do not have one local to look at, I can not be of any assistance.
If all fails, let me know and as always, any fitment problems, send back and your dollars spent will be refunded.

This is an old thread about first set I made:
