Angry Time req'd for belt change-out?
Well I started servicing the Ultra, getting it ready for the Sturgis trip and the west coast afterward. Laying on my back, I was rolling the rear wheel inspecting things and found two stones through the belt. Looks like they are both close to the edge, so It will need replaced. Do any of you know the time standard for this job? I am almost temped to try the job, but not enough free time. Hate paying for this but, oh well! Thanks in advance.

It isn't to bad. The hardest part is pulling the inner primary...

I had one changed on a 97 Ultra after it snapped into. Best I remember it took about 5 hours.
