Default drive belt blues

I posted&nbsp\\;a few days ago the problem I had with my 08 Deluxe, a rubbing or rattling sound coming from the rear wheel on the drive belt side.&nbsp\\; I&nbsp\\;took it back to the dealer (warranty) and had them look into it.&nbsp\\; They tightened the belt (1st trip), then loosened the belt (2nd trip), then the third trip tightened it again.&nbsp\\; No luck.&nbsp\\; Well I took&nbsp\\;one last shot with&nbsp\\;another dealer.&nbsp\\; The belt guard was the culprit.&nbsp\\; I'm getting a new one as the one I had was not fastened (welded or riveted or whatever) good enough and the sound I was getting was the same sound we got when we tapped the location where the two pieces meet.&nbsp\\; This is the same fix others told me about&nbsp\\;on my previous post regarding this problem.&nbsp\\; So, beware of the belt guard if you're having this problem.
