removed mine last spring(added spacer for 250 tire)..read the manual with the out primary cover off, and just refer to the bike as your reading. Get a 12 pack of beer and have fun, its not bad at all..

Ya'll just remember....What your are talking about here is only part of what has to come off to replace a rear drive belt. You also have to drop rear wheel and the swing arm...So get ready for some serious sticker shock when belt replacement time rolls around which is why I miss having a rear drive chain. Chain replacement was quick and easy.

My step 1 would be: Keep it stock... or... have money to pay someone else.... i don't envy you on that one.... I'd need more than alcohol to get thru that one!

Cover
There is another option. Kuryakyn make a chrome cover that installs over the stock one. I have seen this on an 03, and it looked very nice. Could not tell it was a cover until someone told me how it installed.
