You might want to check your drive belt tension. A friend of mine installed these on his '03 Classic and broke the drive belt on a hill taking a corner. He ended up breaking his pelvis and damaging the bike. We don't know if the tension was too much as he didn't check the tension after installation. This was a theory we came up with as this was the last mod he had made just prior to the belt tensioning. Instructions for mounting make no mention of this so it would be interesting to find out if you belt is now tighter. It's not very common for these belts to break.
