Strong Performance Carbon (SPC) Technology

The “SPC” designation refers to the Carbon Fiber tensile cords embedded within the belt. This advanced construction offers several key benefits over standard OEM belts:

• 33% Greater Tensile Strength: Engineered to withstand the violent torque pulses of large-displacement V-Twin engines.
• Zero Stretch: Carbon fiber is dimensionally stable, meaning the belt will not stretch over time. This preserves wheel alignment and eliminates the need for frequent tension adjustments.
• Enhanced Power Transfer: Minimizes “belt give” during hard acceleration, providing a more direct and responsive throttle feel.

Advanced Tooth Design and Material

This belt utilizes a precision-molded 14mm pitch tooth profile. Each tooth is jacketed in a specialized, low-friction fabric that protects the belt from wear and drastically reduces “belt whine.” The high-temperature rubber compound is formulated to resist heat-aging and remains flexible in cold weather, preventing the cracking and “chunking” that often leads to belt failure.

Engineered for the Road

Softails often see a mix of city cruising and long-distance touring. The Goodyear Falcon SPC is built to resist oil, UV rays, ozone, and road chemicals. Additionally, the tooth profile is optimized to help eject small stones and road grit, preventing the punctures that are the leading cause of roadside belt failure in open-fendered custom and cruiser applications.

Fitment and Specifications (2012–2017)

This 132-tooth belt is a direct replacement for 6-speed Softail models:

• Models: FLS (Slim), FLSTC (Heritage), FLSTF (Fat Boy), FLSTN (Deluxe), and FXS/FXSB (Blackline/Breakout).
• Tooth Count: 132 Teeth.
• Width: 24mm (approx. 15/16″).
• OEM Cross-Reference: Replaces Harley-Davidson Part #40000001.
• Origin: Proudly Made in the USA.

The Power of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

Standard drive belts often utilize aramid cords which can stretch over time. The Falcon SPC utilizes Carbon Fiber tensile cords, offering a significant leap in performance:

• 33% Greater Tensile Strength: Engineered to withstand the high-torque loads of 1200cc conversions and performance-tuned 883 models.
• Zero Stretch: The dimensional stability of carbon fiber means that once your rear wheel is aligned and tensioned, it stays that way—preserving your handling and power delivery.
• Reduced Weight: Offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, contributing to a more responsive drivetrain.

Advanced Tooth Engineering and Durability

This belt features a precision-molded 14mm pitch tooth profile. The teeth are jacketed in a rugged, low-friction fabric that minimizes mechanical noise and protects your pulleys from excessive wear. The high-temperature rubber compound is specifically formulated to resist the “cracking” and heat-aging that often occurs in the cramped, high-heat environment around a Sportster’s rear sprocket.

Resistant to the Elements

Sportsters are built to be ridden, and the Falcon SPC is built to survive the road. It is highly resistant to oil, chemicals, UV rays, and ozone. Additionally, the tooth profile is optimized to help eject small stones and road grit, preventing the punctures and “notching” that are the leading causes of premature belt failure in open-drive environments.

Fitment and Specifications (1991–2003)

This 128-tooth belt is a direct replacement for 5-speed Sportster models:

• Models: XL 883 and XL 1200 (Standard, Deluxe, Hugger, Custom, and Sport).
• Tooth Count: 128 Teeth.
• Width: 1-1/8″ (1.125 inches / 28.5mm).
• OEM Cross-Reference: Replaces Harley-Davidson Part #40022-91.
• Origin: Proudly Made in the USA.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Strength

Unlike standard belts that use aramid or polyester cords, the Falcon SPC is reinforced with Carbon Fiber tensile cords. This advanced material science provides:

• 33% Greater Tensile Strength: Dramatically reduces the risk of belt breakage under heavy loads or aggressive acceleration.
• Zero Stretch: Carbon fiber is dimensionally stable, meaning the belt will not stretch over time. This preserves your rear-wheel alignment and eliminates the need for frequent tension adjustments.
• Optimized Power Delivery: Provides a more direct connection between the transmission and the rear wheel, improving throttle response.

Advanced Rubber Compound and Tooth Design

The belt is manufactured from a high-temperature rubber compound that maintains flexibility across a wide range of operating temperatures. The 14mm pitch teeth are jacketed in a durable, low-friction fabric that:

• Reduces Pulley Wear: The specialized fabric is gentler on your aluminum or steel pulleys compared to standard belts.
• Quiet Operation: Minimizes “belt whine,” ensuring the only thing you hear is your engine and exhaust.
• Debris Resistance: Designed to withstand belt-penetrating road grit and stones without compromising the structural integrity of the belt.

Fitment and Specifications (1985–1996)

This belt is a direct replacement for the high-mileage Touring machines of the late 80s and early 90s:

• Models: FLT, FLHT (Electra Glide), FLHS (Sport), FLTC (Tour Glide), and 1985–1994 FXR models.
• Tooth Count: 136 Teeth.
• Width: 1-1/2″ (1.5 inches / 38.1mm).
• OEM Cross-Reference: Replaces Harley-Davidson Part #40001-85.
• Origin: Proudly Made in the USA.
