Our Conversion kit includes everything needed to covert your 2008-2017 6 speed Softail belt drive to a heavy duty 530 O-ring chain
24T Front Sprocket and 51T Rear Sprocket is equivalent to the stock belt drive gearing.
49T Rear Sprocket= 4% Overdrive
48T Rear Sprocket= 6% Overdrive
NOTE: This is for 2007-up bikes with OEM or Baker 6 Speed Transmissions ONLY. (Will NOT fit Aftermarket 6 Speeds Trans./Gearsets made for a 5 SPEED 2006-older bike including Revtech, Ultima, Baker, etc..)
Includes items Below:
Our 6 Speed Transmission Sprocket
- Heat Treated Steel
- 24 Tooth
Steel Rear Wheel Sprocket
- Full .350 thickness for 530 Chain, beware of other thin .25 thickness sprockets out there.
- Steel Sprockets last longer than aluminum sprockets and are ideal for high load situations (Burnouts, Wheelies, High Horsepower Engines)
- Black Powdercoat Steel or Chrome plated Steel
- 48, 49, or 51 Tooth Available
Pulley Spacer
- Spacers have dual bolt patterns. One bolt pattern is drilled and counter-bored for 7/16� socket head cap screws, and the other for your stock pulley / sprocket bolts.
- No more searching for hard to find 7/16 bolts, they are included with the kit.
Ultra Coated Grade ‘8’ Hex Head Bolts for Rear Sprocket
- 5 Grade ‘8’ Hex Head Bolts
- Five times as corrosion resistant as standard zinc-plated screws.
- With Stainless Steel Washers
Chain Info:
530 O-Ring(BMOR) Chain
- 9,700lbs Tensile Strength
- Includes Rivet Master Link
- Component designs optimized with computer analysis provides higher tensile strength.
- Specially controlled heat treatment means tougher material.
- Reinforced roller offers higher impact resistance and longer durability.
-
Available in Natural, Black, Gold or Black/Gold
530 X-Ring (BMXR) Chain
- 9,700lbs Tensile Strength
- Offering 1.5 to 2x longer wear resistance than regular O-ring chains.
- Each refined component, designed with computer analysis, provides higher tensile strength.
- Specially controlled heat treatment means tougher material and more durability.
- Quad seal ring and reinforced pin and roller provide superior wear resistance, higher impact resistance and fatigue strength.
-
Quad seal ring offers less friction, which minimizes power loss, almost half that of standard O-ring chain.
530 High Strength BMZR Chain- Recommended for all baggers
- 11,200lbs Tensile Strength
- Includes Rivet Master Link
- Specifically developed for today’s high-performance sport machines.
- High-quality components coupled with a factory-greased seal ring ensures superior rigidity.
-
High-tensile steels used throughout the chain components; larger pins
mean loads spread out over wider area, resulting in longer life and more
strength. - Specially controlled heat treatment means tougher material and more durability.
- Available in Chrome, Black, Gold or Black/Gold
530 EK 3D Chain- High Strength, Recommended for all baggers
3D
parts are precisely manufactured, leading to a greater improvement of
transmission efficiency, better acceleration and efficient engine work.
Features an original special plate with a lightening hole. EK creates a
hole on both ends of a pin to lighten the chain without weakening the
plate according to computer analysis. The edge-cut inner plate reduces
friction and realizes smooth engagement with sprocket. This plate
enables the chain to be light, removes mud from the hole and dissipates
heat effectively.
- 11,400lbs Tensile Strength
- Includes Rivet Master Link
- Reduced friction
- Chromium carbide pin with lighten hole in end
- Inner plate with lighten hole
- Dimpled outer plate.
- QX-2 ring
***IF YOU DONT SEE A SPROCKET OR CHAIN OPTION IN THE DROP DOWN MENUS IT MEANS WE ARE OUT OF STOCK OF THAT SPROCKET OR CHAIN***

Transmission sprocket has improper offset for my 2008 Night Train, the offset should be increased by 5/16″ to make the chain run in the same place the belt used to, at the moment my chain is not running true to the sprockets, which I can’t live with. I checked the measurement against the stock transmission pully I removed to get the exact measurement required for correction. I bought 2 of these chain conversion kits since I have a spare back tire and rim for the bike, I figured the chain and sprockets will require replacement eventually. So, If I cannot get the transmission sprocket with the proper offset proper offset, I am out the price of 2 conversion kits and a belt which I cut while putting on the “2008 to 2017 Six Speed Softail Chain Conversion Kit”, I don’t see anything available on the Vulcan Website that might correct my issue, going to call them tomorrow, I live in Northern Alberta so returns to the US are a pain, so I’m good with just buying 2 new trany sprockets.

Super high quality, great upgrade from belt drive. Recommend for any high horsepower build.

My Softail went through three final drive belts in 62,000 miles. The main thing that bums me out about it is them snapping when there is no apparent wear on them and I don’t ride hard. The last one literally fell off the bike pulling off from a stop at an idle.With the chain kit I expect to be able to see when it is worn and replace it before it is too far gone.
