New Bohemia, VA | SBR great to hear everything worked out in your time of need. It makes the trip even more memorable despite the tad of misfortune. By the way, how many miles on that belt when it broke?? |

LaPorte,Tx. | This is a good opportunity to remind us to inspect our belts regularly. A small stone can punch a hole through the belt pretty easy. It happened on my Kingpin. |

Kincardine, Ontario, Canada | I often wonder why there is no belt guard on the lower section as HD does with their belt drives. This area is more exposed and prone to stone pick up.
If someone makes a guard for that area, I would be interested in purchasing it |

New Bohemia, VA | Lotzafun - 2009-04-21 2:23 PM oops...forget it Ahh, come on now LZF, throw it out there. It won't get caught up in a belt, and if it does, it won't break it...  Thanks for the reply Sonic, as much as I love the belt now, I'm amazed more don't break being exposed as they are. I've got 39K on mine at the moment and will change it when I do the rear tire at 45K, I think. |

San Antonio, TX | My wife and daughter shopped at Ultimate Motorsports in Knoxville the Saturday before Easter. They treated them very nice and sold my wife a Heel Toe Shifter for her...I meant....my Vision. She said it was a really nice shop.

guelph ontario | As VARider says-these type of things are what makes the trip memorable -at the time it is often a pain in the butt, however, even waiting out a repair can revel new adventures as you discover the area you are in. Aside from a bit of inconvenience, what is the worst that happens-a day or two in a new town with an usccheduled visit. Sounds like the type of adventure us tourers are seeking anyway. |
