Author Message   Kruizen Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 04:14 pm:        Just got done doing the stator/rotor and was out for a nice fun ride to make sure all was well. Did a hard down shift and holy sh## it felt and sounded like I had fried the transmission. Got it stopped looked down to make sure it was all stil there when i noticed te big flap of belt having there. Called Harley and the closest one is in Raleigh NC, at Ray Price, I've heard Good things about them, going to hopefully pick the belt up on the way to the track day. Fingers crossed, 1. Ray price is closed today so I cannot confirm the belt is in stock, 2. They have the belt.   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 04:16 pm:        American Sport Bike usually has belts in stock and can overnight them if needed.   Kruizen Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 04:27 pm:        Talked with Al. $182+40/50 shipping Harley $162+tax and a little bit longer drive.   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 04:37 pm:        Yea the older belts were $162, the newest ones are $182 now. Great find if they have it in stock!   Budgolf Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 12:04 pm:        50 bucks to ship a freakin belt?!?!?! Delivered by elves on unicorns or what?!   Syonyk Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 01:03 pm:        I believe the $50 shipping is the "Overnight" option.   Sprintst Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 01:35 am:        I spent $35 to overnight Fed-X $5 of velcro........to Fed-X headquarters, no less!   Kruizen Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 06:28 am:        It was the 2 day option. Box this thing came in was a lot bigger than I expected.   Fio835 Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 04:19 pm:        Did you get it from Ray Price?   Kruizen Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 04:49 pm:        Yeah, I evn asked If they had 2 as I was goin to buy a back up at that time. The parts lady looked at me like I had 2 heads - kinda funny   _gdkp_ Posted on Friday, March 23, 2012 - 08:18 am:        how many miles you got on your bike?   Syonyk Posted on Friday, March 23, 2012 - 01:02 pm:        Yeah, I evn asked If they had 2 as I was goin to buy a back up at that time. The parts lady looked at me like I had 2 heads - kinda funny Welcome to Harley dealerships - where a belt is literally a lifetime item, even if it only lasts 10k miles! Ride the one you've got for another 10k-15k miles, then replace it & curl it up as a backup under your seat. You can fit it nicely under there - it's probably curled tighter than is really good for them, but a "possibly lifespan-shortened belt" with you is better than a brand new one a couple hundred miles away!   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2012 - 05:50 am:        I'm still running the belt I had coiled up under my seat for two months as a test. It has 11-12k miles on it and 3 years.

Only got 9k out of this one.
