hey guys I was reading through some of this posts .. and kind of confused.
what is the gain with this mode 30T comparing to stock bike.
rpm increase?
speed increase?
gas goes up? how much?
bike runs with lower rpm? etc... can someone explain this tnx.
I have cvo rk 2014 what would I gain (got dragula exhaust, gmr 577, TTS... 110hp, 125tq)

This change lowers the final drive ratio thus increasing your RPM's at any given speed. The big benefit is it makes 6th gear much more useable.

OK I got mine done so now how can I correct my speedo. I have Power Commander 5.

So also means bike will be quicker from start, also there will be a significant usage of gas too.
Since i don't have option for welding is there any Co. that makes belts that would go with 30T pulley.
tnx

jus bumpin this thread up as this is a good time of year to do this mod ..   and BTW .. I still have the gussets available ..lol

Is there any easy way to replace the belt or any trick to know because I know it's a pretty hard job to do?
I've read somewhere that you can do it without removing completely the swing arm.

Yes,  the bike will be quicker (and easier to get moving) with the 30T swap.   The gas usage difference is fairly insignificant in most cases unless you're planning several coast to coast runs.  Yes,  belts (129T as I recall) are available to make the 30T work.  The problem is that many have experienced "belt failures" with these non-stock belts that are NOT available from Harley...............thus the (welding using gussetts trick) is used by some to retain use of the "stock" `130T genuine Harley belt.

wow !  it's still going!!!!

 Stock belt is 140 teeth, the aftermarket belt is 139. This is not a big job, any local welding shop should be able to knock it out in short time. Best improvement you can do, IMO, all 07 up FLH's types are geared way to high. There is likely an independent close by that can do the whole job.  twinotter

Yup,  I was off ten teeth in my previous post.  The stock is indeed 140T and the needed belt for many after the conversion is 139T and thus the non H.D. Belt.

Mine lasted 600 miles. It broke at 15mph.

Mine lasted less than 300 miles.

If anyone is lookin to do this and needs the gussets.. I have some that I cut on CNC and will ship 4 pcs ( 2  gussets and 2 spacers) for 20.00 .. these are from 1/4 material . Thanx

Barefoot;

Go back to page 6 of this posting series and "click" on Barefoots name on his avatar.  This should bring up his profile and you can click there and send him a message which might get you a much quicker response.

I bought a 30T and new Falcon belt from Rob May back a few years ago and have never done the swap over.  After I got the parts I read a LOT about the belt issues and I know how reliable the original stock belt is so I put a hold on the changes.

I can draw up the gussets in AutoCAD and have them cut on our water jet here at work, but for the price barefoot gets for his kits, it's not worth it to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.

So I'll be contacting barefoot about a kit and then I'll be doing the changeover.

Other than the primary gasket and fresh primary oil, are there any other gaskets or seals that I should replace while I'm in there?

I have the TTS Mastertune installed from Fullsac on my '09 SERG and I'll research the changes necessary for the speedo etc to get it back reading correctly.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
