I've got a squeal, goes away when clutch pulled

If you mean it's that loud, it's probably not your belt. Your drive belt will "chirp" if the tension or alignment isn't right but it's nothing like a squealing belt in a car.
But the first question when diagnosing a HD problem--have you changed anything lately? If so, start looking there.

ok, after reevaluation, it seems to be coming more from the rear pulley. I've checked belt alignment and tracking, and it's good. Here's my thought:
When I bought the pulley to go with the new wheels, I didn't notice it was 65 tooth. I am wondering if the belt tooth pattern is different for the 65 than it is for the 70. I sprayed a little WD40 on the teeth of the belt and the squeal went away, for about a half mile or so.
With that said... new thoughts? Anyone know for sure if the belts are spacing is different? I won't be able to switch pulleys back until I get back from Louisiana next weekend. But if that's not the problem...
