Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Belt drive , again

Ok , I did some thinking

the stock rear sprocket is 42 teeth.

front 16t = ratio 2.625
front 17t = ratio 2.47
front 18t = ratio 2.33
front 19t = ratio 2.21

Now with the belt drive the rear pully is a 59 tooth.
at least that is what I counted on my bike.
the front is what I am looking at.

front 24t = ratio 2.458
front 25t = ratio 2.36

a 24 is nearly the same as a stock 17.
and the 25 is closer to the 18.
Ozz said the 25 was the largest that would fit on the bike
So if you have a belt drive , count your front pully
I am curious , thats all.
every one may have the 25 or the 24, but I remember it was up for discussion at one time.

Ps: my belt is 135 tooth, I was counting pullies , so I counted the belt also.
yea , I am looking for things to do this weekend , can you tell.

Pete, did you know that a 127 tooth belt will not go on?
and then you have to pull it all apart again and try the other size Ozzie sent us? Grrrrrr

When I called him to order my belt drive
he asked me to measure the centers , axle to output shaft.
When I picked up the belt drive at his shop he gave me the
135 and told me the whole story about why he was having
trouble supplying Brent because he could not get belts
from his supplier.
