Author Message   Cyberfly Posted on Sunday, August 27, 2006 - 09:18 am:        I am looking for advice on replacement belts for my S2. Which is the longest lasting belt?? The aramid-reinforced Goodyear® Hibrex® belt with Flexten® Plus is what is used on the new XBs. Which manufacturer is the best,, have had some problems with the Gates belts on my soft tail HD in the past, so am wary of them,,any opinions???? thanks ron..   Bluzm2 Posted on Sunday, August 27, 2006 - 10:38 am:        Go with the XB belt. Have Daves set you up. I have on e on my S2 now. It works great! Brad   Henrik Posted on Sunday, August 27, 2006 - 10:51 am:        What Brad said. The latest model XB belt is supposed to be the cats meow. Henrik   Cyberfly Posted on Monday, August 28, 2006 - 10:36 am:        Where is a good place/store to order from (on the internet)???? I have a good belt on the bike now,, but dont know how old it is (Im the 3rd owner),,so am replacing it to be safe,,Ill keep the old one as a spare..thanks ron..   Firemanjim Posted on Monday, August 28, 2006 - 11:14 am:        Check out our sponsors page-- Al Lighton at American Sportbike or Dave S. at Appleton will be more than willing to help out. In defense of the S-2's belts ,I had over 65,000 on mine before changing it. And that was purely because it was going to Bonneville and I wanted to be absolutely sure of it. The one on my bike now survived a couple trips to the Salt and some fairly serious dyno runs (177 HP).   Cyberfly Posted on Monday, August 28, 2006 - 03:55 pm:        Thanks for the info, I might just wait a while before I plunk down $150 for a new one.. the one on the bike now looks like new,,bike just turned 21,000 miles..so maybe Ill hang on before buying a new one.thanks ron   Freeflyer Posted on Monday, August 28, 2006 - 06:01 pm:        "The one on my bike now survived a couple trips to the Salt and some fairly serious dyno runs (177 HP)." Whoa ! I've yot a couple questions 1 what were your results at the flat and 2 what has been done to gather all that HP, and which mods produced the bigest results?   Bluzm2 Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 01:03 am:        Pssst, Jim's got real records at Bonneville. You must be new around these here parts....   Mmmi_grad Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 11:39 pm:        i just got a xb belt from american sportbike/ Big diff than the gates . its the 04-06 recomended one. Anyway 3 weeks no prob , i am also running it loose , like others have said the bull spec is wrong . If im off the bike the bel i can push down to the frame almost on top. Wheelies etc etc no problem.
