Buell Blast drive belt
|
Next round's on me.. Happy Friday evening everyone.
Gotta change the back tire on the wife's Blast.. just did the 'Stealer
Shuffle' and got tired of the dancing.. Dealer 1 wants $92 for the
tire, $59.95 to mount, and $162 for 2.5k mile service. Dealer 2 wants
(first quoted me $175 for the tire, when I said "$175 FOR A BLAST REAR
TIRE??!!" said it was $140), $58 to mount, and $110 for the 2.5k mile
service.
|
Isn't that more than the bike cost or is worth?
Aren't ya suppose to throw 'em away when the tires wear out?
|
I think dealer 2 gave me the incorrect price. I'm going to ride out
there tomorrow because, even though Dealer 1 is on my way home from
work and #2 is 30 miles out of the way, #1 jacked us around on the
price of the bike so much that I decided I would do my best to never
darken his doorway ever again.
If #2 can come close to meeting internet pricing I'll buy the tire
from them; I can get it mounted & balanced locally for $20. I work on
all my own stuff, but this is the first belt drive I've played with.
Anything I should know about? It looks pretty straightfoward.

You should know that there is a service manual (or paper) available.

Either take it to an indy, or do it yourself.
