Default Chromed rear pulley

Hey everyone

I have a 2010 Street Glide and was wanting to get the rear pulley chrome plated. Has anyone done this? If so, were there any problems? Thanks in advance for your help.

I was thinking about doing mine because I have chrome wheels but after thinking about it I thought it would be to much of a risk. I would hate to have some chrome flake off on the belt surface and cut a belt when I'm in the middle of nowhere. Would it happen, probably not. Could it happen? With my luck it would. I'm sure you could just get the face chromed but I'm no chromer.

Harley has a chrome cover that covers the face, had one on my softail, looked good. Lot cheaper too.

Nope. They don't make one yet for the touring cush drive.

I was told years ago not to use a chrome sprocket cover as it would hold the fine dirt and moisture to the face of the pulley, and act as a grinding compound.

This should work I believe, though it is a billet pulley and not a plated cover. I don't know all the touring codes. Check the info below, a the sprocket is gorgeous.

Harley-Davidson® custom sprockets are finished with a proprietary process that combines the decorative chrome with a wear resistant surface applied to the teeth. The sprockets feature a five-year tooth wear warranty.

37834-10


Fits '07-later FXST, FXSTB, FXSTC, FLSTF, FLSTSB and FLSTFB models (except Japanese models). Requires separate purchase of model-specific sprocket mounting hardware.

His bike is equipped with the cush drive system. The sprocket is not bolted on. It's merely held to the wheel by pressure once the axle is tightened. The picture below will show what it looks like. Notice there are no bolt holes just the axle hole.

I had a chromed rear belt pulley on my FLSTF, it looked awesome as it was chrome on both sides, yes I had spoked wheels so you could see the back side. I just don't like covers of anykind on anything. The shop that I used back then had one on the wall.

waste of money in mho. Can't see the dang thing. If it was a Softail . . . that'd be another story.
