Looks easy enough, thanks for videos! I have an 84 fxr ....im thinking this set up would work , what do you think ?

[@HiRevzMedia]

Hey bud, yes it should. Here’s the link: hirevzgarage.com/products/20-0633 Be sure to check out our video before and after this one also.

Can you post a link and do a walk around on your bike/frame? I bought a 1983 FLT and want to turn it into an old school style chopper

[@1hatecrew]

So you can just use your existing clutches but dry and they'll be ok?

[@HiRevzMedia]

Yessir

[@1hatecrew]

Ok, where did you route the oil feed line to? is there a return line you can just connect and bypass the primary?

[@HiRevzMedia]

@@1hatecrew The FXR / FLT doesn't have an oil feed. If your bike does, then you will need to route the feed back or plug it. There's a bunch of info on old forums for that.

Is there a specific belt tension. You didn't mention that.

[@rustygood6336]

You didnt touch on alignment of belt pullys or setting tension which are the two most vital issues for blowing belts.

[@HiRevzMedia]

FXR/FLT’s don’t require alignment. As far as tension, we show it and talk about the tensioner in the video. There’s not much to setting it, just bolt it together and slide it up. Specifics are in the instructions, but it’s really on feel.

Now put a kicker on it, lol!!

[@HiRevzMedia]

I would absolutely love to do that!

[@morganwilkes8127]

Is your bike a FLT 5 speed? I'm building a shovelhead bobber with a motor and trans from a '81 FLT, how's your trans mounted? Pics? Thanks

[@marktaylor219]

You didn't mention the adjustment of the belt.

[@HiRevzMedia]

5:35

[@marktaylor219]

You did show that at 5:35 but you didn't mention how tight or loose the belt should be. Like a specific adjustment. Maybe a half inch play at the top of the belt?
