One of the things you probably should measure on the old belt is the "pitch length." The video below explains an easy way to accurately measure it. Ed

Do you happen to know how many teeth the back sprocket has when paired with the 125T belt versus the 129T belt? Thank you!

Take a look at the link below (you may need to cut & paste it into Google for it to work). It looks like the back sprocket (part number 42041-5002) has 60 teeth, and the belt in the diagram (part number 59011-1001) has 125 teeth. Ed

From what I've found, Harley Sportster belts should work. Same pitch, 14mm. Just need to verify length/tooth count.
