+I finally found time to finish this project on my 1990 1200 XLH Sportster. I took it for a ride afterwards (it was freezing weather - but I enjoyed it). The belt is definitely quieter and smoother than the chain configuration.

+I found multiple used rear pulleys on eBay under $50. I got a used but perfect 128 tooth belt for $65.\\

-This is the bolt that needs to be counter bored to clear the big belt sprocket.

+To clear the new belt drive sprocket, I used a 1991-up Drive Sprocket Cover. On the engine, the top rear stand-off stud (near the motor mount) needs to removed. It is replaced with a 7/16-14 x 2” bolt. The unused (open) hole in the sprocket cover just gets a faux bolt and nut.\\
