Belt Dressing????
I have been researching my chirping issue, and exhausted all of the suggestions given. I bought new rubber exhaust mounting straps, sprayed them with silicone, checked all of my bolts, sprayed silicone on just about everything that can make a noise, Pulled my SE slip-ons off, checked the baffles, checked the pipe heat shields, all exhaust mounts, checked my belt tension, and nothing seems to get rid of it. ( my chirp is only present between 2000-3000 RPM's either in neutral and revving or going down the road, accelerating or decelerating)
I read on another post that Harley has a product called poly oil for the drive belts. Can I just spray some automotive belt dressing on my drive belt? will it harm anything? or should I just go buy some of the poly oil?

Just thought I could try something I have at the house, but I don't want to risk ruining something.

nope, have not, I have the HD tension tool, and I'm right with in specs. Kinda at a loss. figured maybe the chirp is from the belt. I will try thr HD Poly oil (made for our belts) and see if it gets rid of it.
