Default Belt length question...

Hi All,

My new "bullet" has only an alternator (down low) on the DR side using an ICT Billet bracket. I have measured the belt at 54.0" with the tensioner completely slack. So, what do I need to subtract for the tensioner, think 53.0" will do it? Or 52.5"?

If anyone cares, a 53" belt fits pretty snug. So, add 1" to your pulley wrap and call it a day...

No, 53" fit fine and will likely stretch a bit over time. That's a 530K6...
