this is one place that i've found:

about the same price but better than giving harley your money. parts unlimited also has a belt for our bikes as well i think. any dealer should be able to get it from them.

Before you get too far, What year is the bike and why do you need a new belt?

Too bad there isn't some industrial company that makes belts that has one we could use. I bet somewhere in the world there is an industrial vacuum using the same exact size and strength belt that they sell for $35 [mad]

Well first off, they are $175, not $200:

...and that's full retail. Get it from a decent HD shop and you can get 10-15% off of that easily.

Secondly, don't complain too bad- with a chain bike you are replacing the chain and both sprockets every 10,000 miles or so at a cost of around $150. You'll come out ahead on the belt, and you won't need to do any maintenance or cleaning in between changes. :)

after i got my tire changed, i looked at my belt and it has little slices in it in the edges of the bumps, like razor slice looking, its not the og belt, and they dont show on the other side,,but either way, i bought the new one, 175 plus tax 195. so yea. two hundred dollar belt andy! w.e. its just aded to the almost two grand ive put into the bike already this last month n a half

If you've had to drop $2000 into a bike I'm assuming you just got you definitely should have came here first to see if it was a good buy or not.
Just sayin.
