Has anyone used one of these front pulleys?
What how many teeth is stock on a 07 Uly?

Funny ad: like the Buell needs more torque.

Anybody do the math to see what going to a 28 or 29 would do the top speed?

Looks like you need to use it with the X6 kit.

No discussion on what you do with a tighter/looser belt. There's no other belt choice available, right?

Baker makes stuff for the tubers, so I don't even know if this is compatible with the XB or not. There is no way to adjust the belt, so this might not work because of that.

What if you went to the free spirits tensioner? I'd be interested if this raised the top speed enough but I don't think it would be significant.

It would lower top speed. its a 4% gear reduction according to the website.

If it's compatible it gives folks who use their bike for both street and track a chance to make a bit of a gear change without going to a chain. For high-mileage folks, even dropping a mere 120 rpm at 60 mph with a one tooth larger pulley would mean spinning the engine noticeably fewer revolutions over 10,000 miles.

Well it's either a gearing increase or decrease depending if you go to +1 or -1 tooth. Does anyone know if the tubers and XB's share the same output shaft on the tranny?

I skipped over the higher tooth count one, my bad. I would love it to improve fuel economy.

Yeah, I know I'm right in the sweet spot cruising down the highway but I'm just cruising so I don't really need everything right on tap. I'd like to drop down the rev's as much as possible and save some fuel. I mean a 6 speed would be my $$ no object dream. How much do these pulleys run anyways?

Those six speeders look like they are for motors with trapdoors, which XBs don't have.

Yeah I know the bakers are made for tubers but I remember reading somewhere that someone figured out a way to mix and match tranny parts to get it to work. It's $$$$ though.
