    I have an '03 and running the original belt, have just shy of 58k on her! ...how do you ride? are you hard on her? is she kept out in the elements? what's you're maintenance routine/schedule like? have you spilled any brake fluid / oil / WD40 on the belt? these are some factors that will affect the belt's life

    you'll have to replace the front and rear drive pulley's, the idler pulley and belt to get away from the '03 set up, ASB has the complete kit to do the switch

    So if I get an 04 belt I wouldn't have to change the pulleys or sprockets on the bike at all ? If so what is the part number. For this

    You can buy all of the parts you need used off ebay and a new belt from harley and it will cost you about $210
    Also this post might help you out too.

    I would check the sprockets and idler to make sure there isn't any damage or burs on them.

    So I'm not sure if the guy I bought the bike from upgraded it or not ...how many teeth would be on the front sprocket for the 04 upgrade and how many teeth on the rear sprocket upgrade ....sorry to be a pain just didn't see it in the forum maybe because I'm frantically searching again thx a lot guys good to know motorcycle guys have each others back......to bad my wife never understands why I'm on the forum so much lol
