No problem.

I did it when I converted my friends 00 RK to an 07 swingarm/belt.

Are you going to ream out the rear wheel so the 1" spacer will fit also? I converted a 3/4" laced wheel to fit my 07 RK with a 1-3/8 unibit and the 1" spacers and bearings.

I guess I don't understand why the wheel needs to be reamed out. The late model Street Glide wheels I have might need a bearing & spacer change if they are the 25mm instead of the 1" but I'd never dream of reaming out 3/4" bearings to 1" if that's what you mean.

I am thinking about trying one of those pulley spacers to clear the belt with that MU85 tire. That or pulling the primary to install a new thin belt. Then I'd need new pulleys too. $$$ Trying to do this within my budget.

Thanks for all the help.
