I'm a guy that really likes long-distance cruising and for that i decided to replace my pulley. I was thinking about 33 T from Heftysmurf, what do you think? I have the 2004 RSW with 31T aluminum pulley.
 
if you want to drop the cruising rpms the 33t is a great upgrade, but there are a few things to consider. You'll lose some low end torque so you'll be shifting gears a bit more often to be in the right power band
 
The 33T Heftysmurf pulley is more than a good choice to lower RPMs and improve cruising on your 2004 RSW. Do you have anything you wanna compare it with in mind?
 
33T Heftysmurf's great, my brother have done the swap and loved it. Just make sure your belt tension and alignment are dialed in after the install. Planning any big trips soon?
 
A fried did and he said say it feels like adding a sixth gear. Did you already check if your belt will fit with the new size, or are you planning to swap that too?
