    I changed my belt 26k ago with a brand I never heard of(Indy said they were good belts). My records don't show the brand(nuts). But it still looks new. $228.98. Harley belt had a chunk out of every fifth thooth. I'd go for the saving $$ as long as it's not Chinkees

    Dennis Kirk has Gates belts or Dayco for under 200. I think I have a Dayco.

    That's right. I'm thinking any AMERICAN made belt will suffice and save you money, too. I use BDL belts and have had no problem with them.

    You try UAP or CARQUEST? they should have a belt catalogue you could order out of.

    Phil did me right on tappets & push rod seals. Less costly than J&P, plus he's a nice guy and will talk with you.
