    I'm putting a FXR rear wheel on my FLSTC. Is the FXR pulley 70Tooth??I'm thinking that I can mount a tire on it and change spacers with the wheel on the bike now. Its got the pulley and rotor on it .Will it work??
    TIA :devil:

    Before You Count You Might Be Able To Take That Soft Sewing Kit Tape And Measure Around, Could Work, I Would Imagin If It Has More Or Less Grooves That The Pully Will Have A Differn't Od.

    Should work make sure the sprockett and the belt match same width they varied thru the years 1 1/2"'s 1 1/4"'s ect, make sure the wheel is centered and lined useing your exsisting spacer's should center it. But check it. if going from 65 tooth to 70 tooth you sould have enough belt? you might want to check that issue out.........Have fun, good luck! ...strickt9Rob.
