Replacing the Rear Drive Belt on My Harley Sportster - The Easy Way

2004 - 2006 Sportster Belt on Amazon - amzn.to/3QlKXRU

[@vinnyvinson]

This helped me figure out how to do mine. Thanks

[@jsaiz681593]

Holy shit thats pretty easy compared the other harleys where you gotta disassemble the whole damn clutch cover 😂

[@Camaro69z]

I broke mine luckily only 2 miles from home. Had to push it back since I forgot my phone. That was fun up hills.

[@kencappel4511]

Was it hard to get the exhaust hanger bolt out, I don't want to break it. Any suggestions? Tia

[@talonranch]

How u determine the size of belt, mine is a 89 that was converted to belt when they did the 1200 conversion im hoping once belt is off I can find a number or count teeth as last resort

[@Darrellmiller-ss6xm]

The belt still holding up? I just bought one for my bike and plan on doing it tomorrow

[@twinsmotogarage1866]

I don’t have that bike anymore. I ran it for a little over 1000 miles with no issues. I would have preferred a drag specialties belt but couldn’t beat the overnight shipping on the Amazon one.

[@scottdavis681]

How long did the belt last? All i see is horrible reviews for the Amazon belts. Love the price but I need something that will last

[@twinsmotogarage1866]

@@scottdavis681 No issues up to 1000 miles. Don’t have the bike anymore so can’t speak on it past that.

Thanks for the vid! How’s the belt holding up?

[@twinsmotogarage1866]

Still going

[@85tcoop]

what about now? Probably the same given the winter season. Same thing happened to me at work, went to leave and it wouldnt move. I was confused, co-worker seen my belt. Bought a gates one. The whole was good timing tho. Just had a buddy paint my tank and fenders. The paint is the exact match to my 2017 ram 1500 sport copperhead edition. Looks alot like a burnt orange. May favorite color. Enjoyed you video. Thanks a ton.@@twinsmotogarage1866

Can we get a review on that belt

[@twinsmotogarage1866]

Close to 1000 miles on it now. It’s still holding up. I would definitely prefer drags specialties though.

Don't use the cheap pos Amazon belt. Spend the extra cash and get as close to OEM as you can.

[@twinsmotogarage1866]

Yeah that would be ideal but the Amazon one was a third of the price and arrived basically next day. We put 1000 miles on it with no issue.

[@RCnAZ-y3z]

@@twinsmotogarage1866 One on the used 08 I just bought broke and left me stranded in AZ 110+ ..Not good..Again Highly Recommend spending extra $$ and get high quality aftermarket.

[@twinsmotogarage1866]

@@RCnAZ-y3z I’m not disagreeing that an OEM belt would be ideal over Amazon but to be clear… you installed a new Amazon belt, properly set and maintained the correct tension and it broke?

You have to take the tire off
