had about 4000 miles on the belt. I got a belt from gates on order. Will see if it is stronger. May have to be a little easier on the throttle.

Got my belt from Drag....30t...100hp.....2-up, loaded, pulling a trailer, no problems!

Just picked up my bike from having the gear swap done.  30T from the tri-glide plus the (-1T belt) and replacing the stk comp with the SE comp while in there.  Does seem to pull harder thru the gears and make the 6th gear more usable than before.

Didn't seem to me that the rpms really changed all that much,  hard to be precise without a digital readout.

got my 139t gates belt on last week and all good so far. PC-139-1. Looks a little better than the falcon I had guess I will find out. Put about 400 miles on it this past weekend.

I'm going to bring a brand new Andrews 30T gear and belt to Ribfest. If anyone is interested PM me.

Rob......Out of curiousity,  (assuming you're going to that fest on your bike),  how are ya gonna carry that belt

My "stock" belt is still at the dealers after my swap.  I wanted all the old parts back,  but that belt is in a box that is pretty awkward and (long) in size to carry on a bike.  Reason being..........You are NOT supposed to bend those belts in too small of a radius (can't remember the limit),  but if you do,  you risk damaging the belt fibers and significantly shortening the "life" of the belt.  So I will be picking my old one up from the dealers via my truck.

no smaller than the radius of the pulley.

I doubled mine over and set it in the tour pack.

The belt is still in the box I got from Steve at Fullsac. The gear is also in the original box. I actually installed the gear on my 2010 Ultra but couldn't find the right size belt at the time so I removed it and placed it back in the box. I paid around $330.00 for the pair and will sell them both for $200.00.

I drove my truck so the belt is safe and sound!

Thanks Dan, PM right back atcha!

After all that reading, I am still not sure of what belt to run.....

[moscooter]

 
Fast3...  It's not rocket science,  if your setup is stock,  you run the stock belt.   If you are dropping the trans sprocket to 30T and your original setup was identical to mine,  you need a belt with (one less) tooth.

Let us know what you're trying to do to alter your gearing and someone here can nail down just what belt change you might need.

[FAST380]

Yep, my bad!! I was at work, all along I had planned on ordering the tri-glide belt also, didn't realize the belt was a different size.... OOPs. Here is all the info from this thread condensed, now I just have to figure out what to use.

HD Tri-Glide Pulley 83595-11
Andrews pulley 1201-0227
Drag Specialties Belt 1204-0064
Gates Belt 77560
falcon Belt BDL-SPC-139-1
gates belt PC-139-1

Just when I thought I was done with mods for this year, I stumble across this thread 

I've read through all the pages of this, but I just want to clarify a couple things- so if the Tri glide 30T belt pulley works fine (at $62.23 discounted price), why bother with the Andrews or the Baker (which go for $135.00-$203.00)? I'm guessing because the Tri Glide is a bit wider, but will still work?

It looks like last year there weren't any 139T belts around, but from what I gather now, HD has one, right? Any advantage to the other brands?

After all this reading, I guess part of this mod should really be the SE compensator as well- another $210.00 to add on.

You're thinking about making the same swaps that I did.   First of all,  the tri-glide sprocket is wider because the TG uses a slightlly wider belt.  No matter,  as it still fits on other models and the narrower belt "centers itself" on that sprocket and all is OK.  As to the brands of belts,  I cannot speak for one versus the other,  I'm not sure that you are correct that there is a 139T from HD (in the 1" size).   Not sure just which company makes the belts that carry the HD logo,  I went with the 139T belt from Drag Specialties and I also had the SE comp installed during the swap.

The gearing is now a lot better and closer to what I was used to on my old RK Classic which had the final 3.37:1 gearing.   It's only a little over a 6% gearing increase,  but as I said it's better and the swap did not mess up my cruise control............still works OK
