Don't know what you mean about the belt but I think all the 07's clunk when you change gears... mine does! Just get an ipod and crank up the volume, that'll fix it!

RE: help with fat boy
Yea, look at that clunk as a good thing. I'd rather have real positive feedback that it is going into gear than mushy guessing that I've had on other brands. You want the clunk forever, it is Harley "normal".
If this is your first belt-drive with the Harley-type primary, again, there are differnet torques that can be felt, some call it surging, but all is typically good. At any time you can go back to the Harley dealer and get a tech to test drive for you. Chances are everything is good and you're the one breaking-in. Ha ha.
Congratulations on the FB, post some pics! What color did ya get, what mods are you thinking about?
