You'd be in the hospital or the ground by now if your swing arm flexed that much.It's a pain in the *** to get under the bike and look up into the cavity around the front pulley.If you travel on gravel roads or just rough roads it's possible to get a rock up in there more than once to eat the belt.Have it happen 3 times and you might want to think of another past time.You haven't pissed some woman or women off lately have ya ?
Mimo my southern brother how ya been ? G.

Back again, I am going to take a picture of this last belt and post it. It looks like the day we put it on except it isn't connected anymore... Furthermore, as I remember back, I should have stated earlier but he Panther belt didn't break, it shelled the teeth but never broke. This last Gates belt is just ripped and doesn't show any cut marks, as for pissing people off, I am the po po but you wouldn't tell by looking...lol.. be my bike is never unattended... ahhhh, it must be the wife...lol
