• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Should I be worried about this Front sprocket alignment?

when I had wife '19 F3L final fix pulley done. Took about an hour an they said ready to go. I asked if there was a cure time an they said no. She got on her spyder an I got on mine and away we went for home. 4 hrs latter we got home. I'l have to go out an check to see how the pulley an washer look. Hope it s right. I got called 2 days ago about my drain plug that the tool hole was stripped out. The 20th July I take it to dealer an they going change it out. waste of a full day. But lots of seenery to see along the way so it be a nice ride.

Tom, I think picture 5 makes it absolutely clear that the extended area is all part of the sprocket, and not the washer installed in the wrong place. I think that it’s also clear, that your sprocket looks just like mine, which is brand new out of the crate. It’s not installed backwards. The instructions say the "chamfered" side goes inside. It doesn't use the wording "thicker flange", as you were told in one of the posts. Don’t know what else I can say. Your rear sprocket alignment looks good, your front sprocket looks good, and your belt alignment on both sprockets is pretty much identical to mine. And fatboy also agrees. Ron has pulled his other posts after reconsidering. Honestly, I think that the only problem here was that misleading statement in the owners manual, which is not supported by the shop manual, and some advice that wasn't exactly accurate. So, I hope you can rest easy. Have a good riding holiday.

Thanks guys for all your input. Yes, my biggest concern was the statement in the owners manual, not aligning (pun intended) with MY belt alignment! We (especially the wife) can now rest easy on our week-long adventure in the Corbin, Kentucky area with a bunch of friends from Florida, starting in about a week. Whew!

Thanks again!
