Just need some clarification since it's been awhile since i had to think about belts. Earlier you mentioned the stock HD belt being 259t. This longer belt is 261t. Does anyone who still has an HD tensioner know if we have that much tension adjustment to make up for the extra length ?? Or does the tensioner offer the possibility of additional motion to make up for it if we had an additional hole for the set screw? Hope that makes sense.
I'm concerned about the current belt having to much tension for most practical uses. As i mentioned earlier, with lower powered cars (25.5,21.5) belt tension needs to be fairly loose or the drivetrain simply has to much drag. At least in my experience.
