[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 178421, member: 2010"] I've never seen a Sportster starter motor that looks like that, this is mine, and I have three, one on a Sportster, this one and just the body of one. The bendix is 30mm diameter, the locating boss is 50mm diameter and the solenoid body outer is 35mm from the centre of the bendix. The body is 115mm from mounting face to the end of the cover plate bolt, the ring gear is 200mm OD and 165mm ID, the ring gear is not cheap or easy to find as they are never 2nd hand. You can get a DENSO starter similar for a Toyota Yaris etc part DSN 926, there are probably others cheaper. With a belt drive you don't need gearbox adjustment if you set it right to begin with, I have 3 bikes with tens of thousands of miles on each and never had to adjust any of the belts, so the box can be mounted rigid and no provision for adjustment needed. This is my Sportster starter motor, careful attention needs to be paid to where the mounting lugs and electrical connections will end up. I bought mine off ebay, you need the 1981 and later, I paid £20 for the one with no motor, £72 and £103 for the good complete ones.
