Harleys can be beasts and all that extra weight can sometimes slow you down. If you are content to be riding around at your own leisure, without any need to reach top speeds, then this article is not for you.
For those of you who want to get your Harley back in top shape, horsepower and weight go hand in hand. Any loss of weight without a loss of horsepower is a great thing. Also, replacing some of the stock parts with high-performance accessories can sometimes lift your horsepower number up and up. Enter Belt Drives Ltd. is a company which specifically designs parts for Harleys. Their latest series is a family of super-light transmission pulleys. They weigh just over two pounds, while most pulleys weigh in over six pounds- an impressive weight loss. Additionally, these pulleys will increase your horsepower by varying numbers, depending on other modifications that have already been done to the bike.
These things will last forever. They are made from aircraft-quality materials with the super aluminum 7075. They have been anodized to make the finish even harder and are able to withstand anything. It should be an easy install since these parts were designed to fit into the stock locations, providing an ample fit and the best possible space efficiency.
Currently, Belt Drives is offering the high-performance transmission pulley for a variety of bikes.
