#112139 snakefarmer (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I am looking at installing a 31 tooth pulley on my 00rstar. I have done the flip on the rear and was wondering if there would be issues bottoming out. I ride 2up and will be using stock belt,has anyone had problems with this setup?? being as the tire is further back closer to the fender?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112242 Fire ResQ (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 284 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I have a 31T on my 2003, it is also lowered using the "flip". I don't have issues with bottoming out, but I do drag the floorboards regularly. I don't think that is a problem as I know now to expect it. I am about 225lbs and I don't ride 2-up very often.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112296 snakefarmer (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   How much room do you have from the rear tire to the fender?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112392 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4374 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I have a 31T pulley, love the response, I'm also lowered but probably not as much as you, I drag my HK big straights regularly...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112442 stumpman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 74 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Mine is lowered and I hate it! I am 266lbs and when the wife and I ride she is 124lbs we bottom out regularly shock is cranked as tight as she will go, also the frame and floorboards drags when I lay it in the turns as does my 2 into 1 pipe. I love riding twisties and a lowered bike doesn't seem to like them as much as I do. I will be raising mine back up when I get the gumption up to do it. LOL Good luck with it!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112491 Fire ResQ (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 284 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   snakefarmer wrote: How much room do you have from the rear tire to the fender? Don't know, never measured. For me, I love the lowered look. I have only ever dragged the floorboards not the frame or the pipes. If I was dragging them that might make me think twice about it. Again I don't ride 2-up very often.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112522 cartersta (User) winter antifreeze, send jack daniels Gold Boarder Posts: 962 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   for you 1600's with the 31 t pulley, what speed & gear do you hit the rev limiter?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112534 Papa Bear (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 170 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Mine is lowered and at 270 lbs, I seldom bottom out solo. We often bottom out two up, but its still better than a rigid. Buttbuffer pads really help. I just look out for the potholes better when she is up. I love draggin floorboards. Do it deliberately whenever possible, especially when ridin with my HD friends. Scares them to death.

I scrape my boards, frame and every once in a while my pipes I guess I really should add a sports bike to my garage Steven   Logged     2005 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112543 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4374 Re:31 tooth pulley and lowered bike 3 Months, 1 Week ago   cartersta wrote: for you 1600's with the 31 t pulley, what speed & gear do you hit the rev limiter? The secret to it is that you up the rev limiter, that way you don't loose top end, actually, I think in may be a bit faster on top end, but I really couldn't tell you, as I chicken out at about 100 mph..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
