Belting pain in the ass!

I measured my new required belt length, and calculated the teeth quantity of the belt. (Divide belt length by 14mm for those interested).

I calculated it to be 140 minimum, however I spied a 139 tooth belt from a dyna for £30, so took a gamble as it was a standard size.

Yup... It's too short. So I'm now trawling the web for a custom belt manufacturer. I will go 142 teeth to be on the safe side after offering up the 139.

I need to throw the old sportster and the Dyna punt belt on Ebay.

It's also looking like I will need a spacer on the drive pulley. I'm due to have P&D look at it in a few weeks.

I've sourced a new rear numberplate holder, cheap as chips from China, but I'm chuffed with the quality and the look. Will need to tweak it a little to fit though.

The exhaust bracket might be a little close for comfort, will see how it sits when I get correct belt. Also my rear brake reservoir sits on the front pulley cover.

Once the belt and pulley are properly spaced I may need to machine the cover slightly to get it to fit.

So....the belt is holding me up at the moment. Once belt, pulley and cover are sorted I can reassemble rear brake assembly. Make sure all is peachy and then dismantle to get the frame powder coated. pics will follow..... Right! back online to find custom belt suppliers.
