springer- will become famous soon enough
Your description of the transmission is not clear. Is it a 6 in a 4 conversion transmission or is it a Softail 6 speed? If it is a softail 6 speed it will be LOTS of trouble to fit in the 4 speed frame.

I'll assume for now that it is a 6 in a 4 conversion transmission......

I don't think you will need the transmission plate listed. If I am not mistaken that tranny plate adapts a regular 5 speed softail transmission to a 4 speed mount. The conversion transmission you are looking at should already have the correct mounting pattern to fit a standard 4 speed tranny plate.

I am not sure about the part number for the belt drive. I looked it up but the description is vague. The picture with the description is a softail beltdrive and if that part number is for a softail, it will not fit either. Again assuming you are using a 6 in a 4 conversion transmission.

If you are using a softail transmission, then ignore the above two paragraphs and expect LOTS of modification to get any thing to fit right.
