Referring back to archived thread - http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/440981.html?1238212241 Yesterday I passed 17.2 k on Loretta; the belt that rode under my seat for 2 months now has over 1000 trouble-free miles on it. Fitting it under the seat wasn't too difficult, and adds a bit of "trip security" knowing a snapped belt won't strand you in BFE. At the rate the miles are adding, looks like I may be running this belt for a while. FWIW, in the old days, I carried 3 master links in the straps of my boots... Z | ||

Wow Z, looks like your on to something great for the rest of us. Time for me to buy a second belt I guess. Thanks for giving this a shot and finding something that works. Nick | ||

Z: Good deal, maybe I'll invest in one too. | ||

Just an FYI - The belt's p/n is G0500.1AMF and is the current Rev of the belt. Z | ||

FWIW, in the old days, I carried 3 master links in the straps of my boots... Z, are you the kind of guy that staples Post-It notes? Don't get me wrong, there's no kill like overkill. I really dig being able to get myself extracted from whatever with a minimum of dependence on others... Great Work! R | ||

Hey Zac, You do know that you just jinxed your self don`t you? Ha ha  | ||

Neal - I worried about that when I said I had 17 miles and all was good... I quit worrying about 600 miles ago. :-) Z | ||

You took two months to do 1000 miles? The gas will go stale before you finish a tank!  | ||

Weather hasn't been cooperative for fun rides. My commute is 22 miles a day. I hate driving a cage. Besides, it only took one month - March 6th Z (Message edited by zac4mac on April 09, 2009) | ||

My mileage is not climbing very quickly these days. August 4th and I'm at 20.6k miles. I'm not quite getting 1000 miles a month. Just did a 2-300 mile trip a couple of days ago. Still on the "abused belt" with a spare under the seat. Zack | ||

Passed 22k miles a week or so back. Belt is running strong. Z | ||

I think you've passed the point of doubt. That belt is okay. (Message edited by blake on October 11, 2009) | ||

So at 29,000 s'miles should I keep a spare around? | ||

CC, personally I would swap it out at your next tire change. The new belts are tight and harder to install that a used one, so take your current belt and use that as a rolled up spare that will slide right on if your ever on the side of the road. |
