Default Question about 1976 ironhead clutch

I have a 76 sporty with a belt primary. Anyone ever heard of this? it is about one and half inches wide and the only reason I found this out is the electric start quit working and I went to check the bendix and found about a half inch of the belt wrapped around it. Does anyone know what size or where I will be able to find one?

Well I found one at E&M Cycle in St. Louis, it is a 117 tooth 1 and 3/4 in belt. They even had it in stock. This place will definatly get my business from now on. Great people and very helpful.

Did you wonder why no oil came out when you went to drain it?.....How do you feel about having a belt drive,I'd like to get one for my old Triumph.Does the shop do dry clutch plates If you ever need them?

Default Thing is (strange)

It was full of oil, over serviced actually. The Transmission also feeds off of the oil so it must have some in there to lubricate it.
