Woohoo... sort of..
Finally got round to replacing this belt.. 12 months later.. lol.. well almost.
I have got the bike apart, and old belt out (without cutting it) and went to put the new belt in and the damn one I ordered is a fraction too wide
The belt sizing options are the tricky bit here... I needed a shorter belt due to running out of adjustment. And now it looks like the only sizes in 1" belts are 137 tooth.. where I am going from a 140 tooth.. that is gonna be too much of a jump I think. They make a 139 tooth but it is 1 1/8"
It was actually quite straight forward.. I spent 2 hours undressing the bike, and another 4 hours stripping the Harley primaries and the trike rear. So the 10hours estimate was pretty good. I reckon I could get it back together in 1 day if the belt had of been correct.
Anyway..
While its sitting here apart, and while I have to buy a new belt anyway.. is it worth converting to chain now?
I can see many benefits of chain here.. like not having to do this again if there is further belt dramas.
If I do convert to chain, does Lehmann or Champion have the rear drive sprocket I need? Or any direction in this area. The Harley side is straight forward. Just looking at the rear sprocket.
Cheers for all the assistance in the past
