shame I saw this too late.

Ive got a brand new one hanging in the shed. I've learnt my lesson :D

Greg (GT) always has a spare as well, and he's only 10 minutes away from you as well.

If it ever happens again, just give me or greg a call next time.

You guys might consider organizing a group buy on spare belts and rear tires. Plus, in the UK, they made a list of what other spares the group has in their respective garages in case anyone has an emergency and can't get a part. They get the part off the list and order a replacement shipped direct to the other guy. Heard no complaints so far. Do you guys have to pay high import duty from the USA?

G'day Zorba,
Always got spares sitting on the shelf here. Which brand did you order? The best ones to get are Gates Polychain or even better is the Gates/S&S Polychain.
If you ordered the Panther belt order another one now, one of the ones listed above or let me know and I can do you a deal on the Gates Poly for 1 1/8"

Cheers

anything other than the S&S/Gates belt wont stand up, I found that out brand new Panther belt lasted less than 10thousand K's.

After reading everything I could on here the S&S/Gates belt is the ducks nuts.

Hi Hans, if you have a Gates/S&S Polychain belt for sale I'm interested. Mine is currently ok, but i wouldn't mind a spare. Im still running the standard gearing. I don't want do anyone else out of buying, if they are in trouble and need a replacement quickly though. Cheers Ace.

Razorfire,

I have to disagree with you. Before Gates/S&S was invented there was Gates. I still have a Gates belt on my bike and it has been on there for about six years. I have the Gates/S&S as spares and only in 1 1/2". Dayco and panther belts were always found wanting and not very good quality. Things we learn on our travels.

I don't have a spare Gates/S&S belt in 1 1/8" as a spare but I do have a Gates new and a second hand one that is in good nick, came off my bike when I went 1 1/2". Your choice.

Cheers All

ok - old info ...but i hope you guys are all resting those belts flat on something flat and not hanging them from a nail in the shed!!?...:eek:

none of them like being stored anyway and particularly not being treated like a leg of lamb!!.....they will get the ^rse ache and warp - 6 years in storage could be a problem!!

Prof didn't we have some notes on belt storage somewhere from last year?

i'll see if mine are to hand...my service book was some 550 pages thick and now has a parts book getting their...plus all the info that we've accumalted like this ...the forum rocks for that alone:D

who left the forum!!...did you get a day pass and abuse it then?....tut tut:eek:

I noticed a small, I suppose you would call it a hole about 5/32" dead centre of the drive belt, I don't know how long it has been there. But I have rang around and got some prices. I rang a coupler bike shops in Townsville, the first one quoted me $933.00 and 4 weeks, the second one Quoted me $750.00 and 4 weeks, so I tried the Internet as one does and consulted the forum in particular ArrazonaWarrior and found I beleive the belt Arrazona was talking about, (S&S Gates Drive belt corbon 106-0359 130T 14mm pitch x3n 1.125") I found it on "Amazon.com" web site for AUD $153.57 AUD $54.14 for frieght. And someone said that it is a better belt than the original. I have yet to see but I'm confident. I can buy three more with the change. It arrives around the 20 October, a bit late for the trip but I will take the risk. Atholross

Mine spat a belt on the weekend boys. i've jumped on Amazon and ordered an S&S DRIVE BELT 130T 1.125" CARBON 106-0359.

but as its coming from the states it'll be 3 weeks till she gets here. anyone got a newy (same brand as what i've just purchased) laying in the garage that they can post me? and i'll post you back my new S&S as soon as it arrives.
