Well, I'm glad not all rocker owners had the problem with the belt, but once i looked at Mike's rocker his belt looked like mine BEFORE i had the face of the rear pulley milled down. Everyone should take a closer look to MAKE SURE your belt isn't rubbing. Those belts are around 300 bucks and installation of one is going to cost an arm and a leg as well

I had an issue with mine making a crazy groaning noise if i pushed the bike forward or backward. (I'm sure it made the noise as I rode, just couldn't hear it) At first I thought it was the brake pads touching the rotor, but it was the belt rubbing against the inside of the rear pulley. I readjusted it and so far so good. It didn't take much, and it still tracks straight. It has to be a spacer issue, I don't see any way it could be a swingarm design problem.

Sweet pics
Can you really hear those speakers over the pro charger?
My uncle has a pro charger on his heritage and when I ride with
him I barely can hear my pipes.
I only ask cause I was thinking of getting some tunes for my ride.
