What is the price of a new drive belt? I want to have a spare packed when we head to the Buell Homecoming next month.

I believe it's about $150. Check American Sport Bike if you want a current price.

I hope you get one for homecoming in June as I believe that they are/were on back order

Looks like Chicago HD dropped the 20% discount?

Nope, the belt lists for $175.00

American Sport Bike lists it for $175.00 in fact.

I just called Chicago HD. They do NOT have any more in stock and have 3 on backorder already. He thinks about 3 weeks to get more again. But the 20% discount is real.

I'm relying on all the people that will carry a spare to HC if I need one.

It is true...20% off belts @ Chicago HD. I ordered mine 5 minutes ago. Delivery expected May 12th-15th! (fingers crossed)

That's good. I was misled when I plugged the part number into their website. It showed $175, not the discounted price that it used to show. Not sure why their website doesn't show discounted price anymore.

I got my spare from sponsor Liberty ($160 rings a bell), not only did they get it to me faster than Chitcago would even think about processing my order, I got free cookies and two $15 gas cards too : )

Blackdog,

Yes. The X, XT and Lightning Long all take the same belt.

Just got a new belt up here in the great white north. British Columbia, the belt was two hundred twenty bucks..wicked. But was in stock. Only to be covered on warranty. Nice. So, I am going to have an extra. Actually currently have two extra's. damn.

I just bought one from American Sportbike for $175. Crap, I hate paying full price. I called all the others and they were all out.

I had ordered a belt about 3 weeks ago that was back ordered and it arrived yesterday. It would seem that back orders will be clearing.

What are you guys complaining about? A belt for a BMW F800 is over $400!

Buy from BadWeB sponsors, they help keep this site up.

I can't stress that enough, its not worth it to save a few bucks at the super discount dealer. They NEVER have what you want in stock, take your money, and if your are lucky you will get your order in a month. American Sport Bike won't charge till they ship, and they get the stuff faster.

I buy stuff from BadWeb sponsors and from the "super discount dealer". I've supported American Sport Bike, Spec. Ops., Palmer and Dark Horse with orders in the past and intend to continue to support them in the future. (I've got things on my wish list from both American Sport Bike and Spec Ops right now). Using the "super discount dealer" for certain Harley sourced items give's me room in my budget for a new Spec. OPs. pipe this autumn and perhaps a set of those nifty adjustable levers from American Sport Bike next spring.

Yup, just ordered a few parts yesterday from American Sport Bike, including the belt. I usually always look for the cheapest price, but if I know I am getting a fair price from a business I want to be sure is around later when I will need them, I am more than happy to pay for it.

I buy my work clothes form the local independent men's clothing sore. I buy my running gear from the local independent running gear store. I buy parts for my bike from American Sport Bike. None of these places are the cheapest, but the service is excellent and I would hate to see them go away.

I agree with most of the statements above, and have purchased several items from board sponsors (including American Sport Bike).

In my life I try to buy things that I need in this order...
1. Made in U.S.A.
2. Made or grown locally
3. From a small, non-chain, store
4. From a small business that "gives back"
5. Lastly, lowest price

I just don't have an extra $35 to "give away" on principal when buying a replaceable item.

The price difference is 25% more when comparing a "sponsor belt" to a Chicago HD belt.

Sorry.

$155.75 vs $140. Then Chitcago charges ridiculous shipping to make up for the loss on the discount, so you still pay about the same. Also, last time I checked Chitcago dosen't throw in cool goodies with their orders.

There is more to things than just a price tag : )

I get parts at 2/3 of German list price at Chicago HD, including overseas shipping, customs (5%) and VAT (19%) on top of all. Why should I waste money and buy somewhere else? To keep overprized webspace providers in business? Or to just sanctify sponsor Gestapo?

FYI
$140+shipping...no handling @ Chicago
$175+shipping...no handling @ American Sportbike
Shipping costs the same for everyone.
$0 handling charge from both vendors.

That is a $35 dollar difference. Apples to Apples...25% more.

As for the "cool gift" I will give one myself with my extra $35.

Hey, everyone should do what they want and buy from who they choose and feel good about it, it's a free world/country right?
As for the sponsor Gestapo comment, that's just plain silly.

I've gained a lot more then $35 bucks worth of information and entertainment from this site.

You probably spend more than 35 bucks on beer and bratwurst on a Friday night
