Sportster Rear Belt Removal & Replacement

When my dad said he was taking out his belt, we would run for the hills. When Bob and Mark say it, all come near and watch. In this 95-minute video, they show us how to remove and replace the rear belt on the Harley-Davidson Sportster. The final belt can last a long time, mileage wise, but sometimes all it takes is a rock to get stuck in the belt and run through the pulleys a couple times to split it. Always check it when doing service. If you need to change it, grab your laptop, service manual, tools, parts, buddy and get to it.
