was really curious because my Champion came with a 70 rear and with the 32 front my trike really runs well. Maybe some day the 30 front if I have to tear into that side. Ride safe

OK, guys, I need your expert technical advice. I have a 2008 FLSTF Softtail Fatboy with a Motortrike conversion. I am preparing to rebuild the transmission to install a Baker reverse kit. I will also change the drive pulley(s) and belt. Stock has 32 & 66 tooth pulleys and a 20mm-133tooth belt. I need to know what is the best ratio for the change.
I know I'll need to go with the 30tooth front pulley. Here's my questions:
1. If I change only the front pulley (to 30tooth), what belt do I need - go down one tooth?
2. How about also changing the rear pulley? I read here about some going to a 70 tooth rear. Is that recommended? If I do that what belt will I need?
3. What is the recommended way to correct the speedo with these changes?
4. Most cost effect source for buying these parts?
I've looked through the threads, and find discussions mentioning each of these, but not a comprehensive statement of the most effective solutions.
Thanks for any and all guidance.
Ok im getting ready to do the 30tooth conversion.
The question of the day is do I need a new belt?

I am about to install the champion trike kit on my tour glide. Could you send me some particulars about using the calipers for alighnment?Hi, just wondering with the 30T what is your top end speed now? It should be less than before but I'm wondering what it is.
I've wanted to know how these heavy trikes were getting off the line. Now I know just by reading the INFO on here. Sometimes its better not to ask and just read. WHEN I can get my 1st Trike. Depending on the yr. That will be the 1st thing I do to it. This site is awesome with all the info that all of you supply! Thanks Rick ThumbUp
