    Still a good deal for sure. As I'm sure you know, that seat is the taller Uly seat. For those looking for a "low seat", the part # is N0025.2AKYW I think I have that right.

    That's a good price considering shipping. I wanted to sell my perfect shape spare low Uly seat, and the shipping alone was near that. It was a deal breaker, so I'm still sitting on it. Pun fun.

    Perhaps I misread his sense of humor; Sorry Shaughn. All is good, and my belt is still tight as a stretched tow strap.

    Hey there Shaughn. You're obviously referring to the very slightly enlarged holes on the tensioner bracket. Done right(like I did)I stand 100% behind my easing the ridiculous tension that created...

    If using the "tensioner with a spring"(free spirits?)can cause the belt to skip a tooth, then it seems that using that tensioner is not a good idea. Did you modify the holes in bracket as has been...

    As you say; "original belt lasted for 15 years right?"(0500 1AAH). What has changed? Well, it seems that you have rotated your tensioner too far(and pivoted on just the one hole), and is now hitting...

    I'm thinking your belt tension is fine if you were able to get it on. It's suppose to be rather tight, and will loosen up(slightly)in time. Go easy for 100 miles or so(this is just my stab at a...

    Not to split hairs here, but by pivoting on the top stud you'd actually be applying upward force at the lower stud, and thus, against the outside wall of the tensioner.

    Yep, that works too. The criteria and logic behind doing both holes is to leave the maximum amount of thickness at the remaining wall. I think by only doing one, and to get the proper amount of...

    No mill necessary. Yes, a little geometry should be used to mark the 2 shoulders you'll remove. Use the centerline(halfway between the 2 holes) as the pivot point and rotate a line from that point...

    To be clear; don't just drill out the holes to a larger size. Elongate(ream)the two holes precisely as Barrett laid out. Many a bearing didn't live as long as they could have due to this issue.

    Great advice as usual John. I thought maybe the "trick" you were going to tell him about was elongating the upper & lower holes a bit, so the tensioner pulley can rotate a bit. The new belt I...
