just the lip  ?

what about the pulley width itself does any material have to be removed to make it narrower ?

I recently installed the 33T Road* OEM steel pulley on my bike with the 70T Road* 1 1/2" wide pulley, 1 1/2" Panther Belt and 240 Metzler tire

---

I did 90 miles total at elevated speeds on my way down to Phats to pickup the wide belt and had the 33T frt pulley and stock rear wheel, pulley, belt and new Metzler 130/70HR18 front tire.

Really didn't notice a big difference as i was focusing on the newly mounted tire, frt bearings, rotors etc on the chromed wheel that i had assembled

---

I now have nearly 900 miles on the completed mod and still haven't got a handle on the mileage or speedo error.

---

One thing i have noticed is that i'm not looking for that elusive 6th gear any longer  and i'll find myself riding in 4th on the freeway  . The changes have affected the light to light performance slightly, but that's not where i'm at 

---

I'm not the pioneer of this mod but i can say without a shadow of doubt that you need only machine one side of the pulley that faces the case...nada mas...

FACT: the OEM 33T Road* '99~03' frt pulley must be machined to fit our bike

Here's another topic that i added my .02 :http://www.rswarrior.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=49638

Absolutely....the rear flange is removed and the step should be machined 1/8" to clear the middle shaft case gussets.

---

The 33T Road* Pulley Flange just touches the Stay Bracket so i removed 1/32" mat'l if that with a Dremel disc
The flange sits behind the stay bracket when assembled to the middle shaft. This course of action isn't required
if you choose to remove the bracket

If I get the RStar 33 tooth, part # 4WM-17651-00-00, will it need to be shaved if I am still using the stock pully cover and insert? I searched but the thickness reduction of the pulley seemed to be related to the Yammi pulley case set.

where do you get the 70T rear pulley and belt ?

the belt you can get thru phats, the rear pulley (1 1/2") is a roadstar pulley. in my case i went with a set of rc wheels and got their matching rear pulley

 Can you keep the lip so theres a belt guide? Does the belt run against parts on the bike- for those who've had this setup for a while?

No..and no. The belt doesn't travel across like you are thinking it might. And the lip does have to come off for it to fit.

Alright, I got my carbon cord belt installed, and 33t pulley, now are you guys reinstalling the belt roller/guides, just the metal rod, or not at all? Mine are up REAL close maybe 1/10th of room after the belt is tightened.

..Will a belt throw through the case like a chain?

When I put the 33t on mine, I left off the pins and the guides.

Should installing just the pins without the guides provide any protection or cause any issues?
