The hard chrome on my rear pulley is chipped in a few places and I need to replace it shortly. Do Sportster ones of similar years have the same bolt patterns and offset? I like the look of the new Nightster one so I might have to hit a showroom with my digital caliper and do a little measuring. I am an Aussie so I will be after the 55 tooth rather than the 61. Any ideas/suggestions from the knowledgable folk around here? |

If you have chrome on a Buell pulley it is probably a pulley cover. Should be able to just remove it. If you must have shiny parts you can polish the stocker up. The center of a Buell pulley is not the same size as the sporty, although I don't know the measurements on either. |

Are you talking about the chrome inside the channel that the belt runs through? |

Yep, the hard chrome on the actual pulley teeth is what is chipping off in places. I imagine that it will have an effect on the belt if I leave it too long. |

FullAuto, The inside diameter of the pulley is larger on the Buells. I will go out and measure the one I took off of my 2001 X-1 with PM wheels, and will report back later today. I would closely check the measurements on the new bikes. Boiler |

they have to be machined to a larger diameter to fit a buell |

If that's the only difference then I shouldn't have any problems. Just get the centre machined larger. That should give a bigger choice. |

FullAuto, The inner diameter should be machined to a diameter of 2.464 inches to fit the PM wheels on the tube frame Buells. Sorry for the delay obtaining the exact measurement. Boiler |
