    can you run the old belt and pulley covers or is the belt that much thicker that it requires new belt and pulley guards

    an old thread, but I'm gonna give my two cents about it... got 66,600 miles on the original belt and only changed it due to age and mileage. passed the belt onto another forum member that needed one. the original belt was made by Gates and the new one is made by Goodyear, same tooth count, same pitch. last I checked the belt can be had for about $148. it's a personal choice to change the setup, but not needed if you take care of your bike and do a daily or weekly inspection. if you're hard on your ride then you can expect for things to break or wear prematurely. nothing is going to last a lifetime, want to make it last longer than normal or expected, take care of it. period.
