The belt on my 2011 Vision caught a rock and needs replacing. I was a bit shocked at the OEM belt price. Is that the best belt or are there high quality aftermarket ones that are not so stupidly priced?

Thanks

Jim

Thanks for the info. Found one on eBay last night for $132 with only a few thousand miles of use. I just can't believe that with all the companies making HD belts, that none of them make any for Vic.

I'd think that you could take your belt into a HD dealership and let them see if they can size it up; with one of theirs? Maybe?

I was surprised last fall while I was waiting to get a new rear tire installed on my bike. Just for giggles, I asked the parts counter guy about the price of the drive belt for a Yamaha Roadliner and I couldn't believe how much more expensive it was compared to the Vision belt.

I've always tried finding alternative parts/prices for my bikes and I'll keep looking but I sure wasn't expecting the Vic belt to be cheaper.

when you put the used belt on make sure you can read the word victory facing outward.

Used belts are like radial tires they wear a certain way. Doing it wrong will shorten the life of the belt

Highest teeth count I can find for HD is a V-rod at 150T. Most are in the 130's.
