So are ya saying that Gates makes a 1" wide X 139T belt.

I knew they had one for the Sportster that's 139T, but I don't think it's usable on the touring bikes.

So what else do they use a 139T belt on that we can buy?

I think a lot of us would love to know the answer.

[moscooter]

Yes they do

So,  exactly what is the part number for a Gates 1" 139T rear sprocket pulley belt for a Harley.

I checked some other sites regarding Gates and their belts and could not I.D. one that is 139T.

If your doing the gussets and elongating the holes you use the stock belt ?

Yes...

I just ordered a gusset set yesterday from barefoot.  I knew is was about 1/4" of grinding and Howard said that .2" is all that's necessary.

In his gusset kit there are a couple straight pieces and they get welded in for the cam adjusters to still work.  I asked Howard that if I sold the bike and the stock 32T sprocket was back on, will the cams will work with the spacers welded in and he said yes.

I'm looking forward to not having to slip the clutch for parking lot cruising and stoplight take offs.

Thanks Howard for the quick service.

Have a great weekend ya'll...

Dan, I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I'm taking mine for a check over tomorrow and may be needing the compensator replaced anyway. If I do, I'm going to have them go a little further and replace the pulley. I'll take care of the wheel adjustment myself. What is the pulley part number?
Keep us posted on how it works out!
Thanks!

Mine's and Andrews pulley so I'm not sure what the guys are using today.  I heard that the Tri-Glide uses a 30T and that may be the pulley of choice now.  I know it's wider than the touring pulley, but that's still not an issue in a touring model.

Again, anyone know what all gaskets or seals I might need?

"I heard that the Tri-Glide uses a 30T and that may be the pulley of choice now.  I know it's wider than the touring pulley, but that's still not an issue in a touring model."

  Yup,  the Tri-Glide is indeed 30T (or at least it was 2 or 3 model years ago).......and that worked on my conversion when I had my '09 SE Ultra.  It is a little wider,  but that is no factor.

I know this thread is a little old but I'm finally getting to the mod. My machinist wants to know how tall the slot in the swing arm is. I believe he is looking for the diameter of the hole to make sure that he has what he needs to mill the slot. I've looked everywhere for that information and come up dry. I'm trying to work this so the milling/welding can be done while the bike is in the shop for a compensator replace (same day) so the swing arm is still on the bike and the turnaround has to be quick.
Thanks!

I did mine and what's important is to stay parallel with the swing arm shaft. Am my understanding you.

He wants to keep everything aligned and cut the slot true. Apparently he needs the size of the hole to make sure he has the proper tool to cut it back the .20  I'm not a machinist so I'm just trying to get him the information.
