Harley-Davidson belt drives have a lot going for them—they’re quiet, low maintenance, and long-lived. However, they have a lot of shortcomings, too—they don’t tolerate abuse or extreme shock, they severely limit altering wheelbase or ride height, and they require lots of labor if a belt is in need of replacement. Changing final drive ratio is also much more complicated. Some riders are just better off with a chain.

This conversion kit from TC Bros. contains a USA-made front steel sprocket and durable steel rear sprocket in your choice of finish, and both will provide long-lasting performance. The 23-tooth front sprocket and 48-tooth rear sprocket bolt in place of your existing pulleys and provide gearing that is nearly identical to your OEM belt setup. The only item you need to add is an appropriate 530 chain (available separately). These kits are a smart choice for riders who load and unload the driveline aggressively or have high-output engines. They’re ideal for machines with altered wheelbases due to extended swingarms or modified frames, or riders seeking a more traditional look than a belt provides.

Kits are designed for stock motorcycles using stock alloy or wire spoke wheels, tires, swingarm, and frame as well as riders using our hardtail kit. They’re plenty adaptable, but if you’re using this kit in a modified application, you may need to fabricate or machine components to achieve proper chain alignment. Please review fitment notes for additional information.
