You may have seen a recent post about me snapping my belt...Well, after being stranded for several hours in the dead of night I found and purchased this kit. It is a Harley Davidson Emergency Final drive belt kit. Essentially it contains a belt with the same specs as ours (130 tooth, 14mm pitch, 1 1/8" wide), 15 allenhead screws (you really need only 12, 3 are spares), and several allan head wrenches.
Basically, this belt can be installed on the spot without having to take off the front pulley cover, swingarm, or rear wheel. It is an open-ended belt that is secured via 12 allen head screws joining a "v" type union. It is meant as an emergency temporary belt to get you home or to the nearest dealer within 200 miles.
I would think this is a good thing to have when going on a long trip or just to have around the house so someone can drive it out to you if you are not too far away from home. Sure beats having to wait several hours in the dead of night in nowheresville and having to go thru the hassle and expense of towing...
anyways, I got it from an HD dealer on the net but they took a week to ship and their service was crappy. I asked them about doing a group buy for us and they were not interested.
You can find these kits on ebay as well for about $110. HD part # 40171-97 for '94 and up Dyna and Softail models, 130 tooth, 14mm pitch, 1-1/8" wide
