Started with a little bitty hole

Piece of gravel poked hole in the belt, not real bad & probably been ok for who knows how long, but wasn't comfortable venturing too far from home with it.
But, dang changing a belt on a soft tail is a pia.





So, while I was at it figured I just as well change out the pulleys.
New transmission pulley on left, old one on right



New rear pulley on left, old one on right, worn with no teflon & stone damage.



Look ma, no teeth. Stator rotor had no teeth, good thing I got into this thing.



Now how in the hell does all this stuff go back!



This looks a lot better!



Finally all done.
BDL 2" EV 575 with 1 1/2" primary offset & 2" pulley offset.

Good job and good thing you did it given what you found.

Belt's are easy on the right softails -- K-9's you don't have to mess with the swingarm!

Not the 250 mm size RSDs. :) Still have to remove the swingarm. :)

Nice work :2thumbs: My belt has had a hole in it for 2 years now.....But I'm lazy too :D
I was wanting to change the pulleys anyway and had a small primary or transmission leak. By looks of the rotor I'm glad I didn't wait.
