Jeff I know I was told for a 4 lb lower and a Reichard 1-2 pound upper to buy a Gatorback ---675, and I believe for just a 4 lb lower a Gatorback ---680. I hope that helps a little. Todd

REM 2lb pulley, use Gatroback 4080675
REM 4lb pulley, use Gatorback 4080680
REM 6lb pulley, use Gatorback 4080685

Just to make sure I understand the length correctly 4080690 is a 69" belt and 4080685 is a 68.5" belt right? There is a vendor here telling me different....

Below is some pulley and belt info I gleened off the boards over the last few months:

Lower Pulley measurement:
Stock = 7.5"
2lb = 8.0"
4lb = 8.5"
6lb = 9.0"
8lb = 9.5" I think ...?

Goodyear Gatorback 4080660 SC Belt
1999-current Ford Lightning & 2003-current Harley-Davidson F-150
*** to be used with 2 lb. Upper & Stock Lower SC Pulleys ***

Goodyear Gatorback 4080670 SC Belt
1999-current Ford Lightning & 2003-current Harley-Davidson F-150
*** to be used with 2 lb. Upper & 3 lb. Lower SC Pulleys ***

Goodyear Gatorback 4080675 SC Belt
1999-current Ford Lightning & 2003-current Harley-Davidson F-150
*** to be used with 2 lb. Upper & 4lb. Lower SC Pulleys ***

Goodyear Gatorback 4080680 SC Belt
1999-current Ford Lightning & 2003-current Harley-Davidson F-150
*** to be used with 2 lb. Upper & 6 lb. Lower SC Pulleys ***

Here's the GatorBack part number for the -accessory belt- on an L: # 4080990

NOTE:
You L owners, anywhere it says 2# upper this is stock upper..

Someone should have a spreadsheet on all the applications people are running and the correct beltsizes...I am running a 8# lower and a 2.70 upper with a Metco 100mm idler and I use a GB 4080680.....
