How to align a harley engine,transmision, and primary belt drive?

I have a BDL bolt in belt drive on 1995 softail. I have problems with the belt walking. I have a stock trany, inner primary cover, and engine all Harley Davidson.How to align a harley engine,transmision, and primary belt drive?in the bdl kit there should be instructions tell you how to align the belt, it is usual just using the correct shims. You could check their web site also. I thin it is http://www.beltdrives.com

So don't go newclear(pun intended) Pull the plugs and ground out or otherwise disable the ignition system. Crank the bike over for about 30 seconds(that way you won't over heat and fry your starter) look at the belt while you are cranking. The pulley that is out of alignment will be where the walking starts first. That is where the alignment problem is. I don't think it's any harder to shim the front pulley than the rear. And I think on the 95 you can pull the basket without dis-assembling the clutch. Don't quote me on that as my knowledge of newer Harley's is somewhat limited ( and jumbled up with 70 years of other Harley info)How to align a harley engine,transmision, and primary belt drive?Good advice 20/20 because the contorted wrench needed to remove the starter on 30 series John Deere tractors works perfectly for getting to the nuts that hold the Harley jugs onto the engine case.How to align a harley engine,transmision, and primary belt drive?are one of the replacement pulleys on backwards or did they come with a shim kit you can use to correct it?

it should be easier to adjust the rear than the frontHow to align a harley engine,transmision, and primary belt drive?you'll have to go to John deer or tractor supply to get the tools you need.
