I also hear you can use A 34 tooth sprocket from a XB9 with stock XB12 chain. Any suggestions????
the XB9 and XB12 contrary to some internet opinions have precisely the same front and rear belt drive pulleys. i'm talking 2004 and up models. however they are geared differently. the 9 lower....the 12 taller. this gearing change achieved thru the primary drive system. all the bolt-ons interchange between 9's and 12's. simply buy a good used 9 primary chain and front bell along with rear basket assembly and swap for your stock 12 set-up. plenty of complete units for sale on this site by dependable board members and reasonably priced. you can re-use your stock gasket if it is thoroughly cleaned, inspected and reinstalled in the precise position it was removed from. if a new gasket required any H-D local dealer or online dealer will have them in stock. part # is 25378-02B 2003-2010 all the same part #
