Under Drive Pulley
As for a Belt you will have to take your belt and compare to other ones, Mine is to old to see the numbers, but i know the stock belt will be to lond, as the new pulley will be about a 3/4 and inch smaller in Diameter. Belt just needs to be like 1/2" shorter, as you can adjust the belt tightness with the altenator.

I actually like the underdrive pulley, it makes the steering feel a little more sporty, but i would suggest it, if you like to listen to Bass, and have a huge stereo, as it does make your Altenator less effecient.

I run a full pulley set, used to have 2 12"s in the back with a full system and no capacitor. Never had any lights dim or anything.
That was a young faze tho, now one of the 12"s is out and the bass is set at -6.

An under drive pulley will not change your power steering or alternator output. The RPM's is still the same as before. Just like if you have a supercharger changing pulley on the charger changes the boost not changing the pulley on the crank.

Red97tib. think about what you said, they supercharge pulley being changed, would make the overall RPM FASTER.. Making more Boost, just like when you put a underive Pulley on the crank, Now everything that it is driven off that pulley will spin at a slow RPM at redline, there for making it less effecient. Do not confuse being less efficient with not working!
When you saying changing pulley size doesnt change RPM that is crazy talk, that is why bike are geared and you change sprocket sizes.
