I'm in NYC. The closest Harley/Buell shop that I know of is in New Rochelle.

raymend: if you have truck or little trailer bring the bike and new belt down here and i'll install it for you no charge. i'm in southern PA....amish country. OR...i can give you step by step simple instructions if you have tools and place to work on it.
Wow, thank you guys. I really and sincerely appreciate the help. I will try to contact a few more shops to see what they say. Most likely the mechanics who installed the previous belt will do it at an affordable price.
I whole-heartedly agree with all the above advice to change the belt yourself & save a bunch of money.
Having said that, I don't think the $400-500 you were quoted is unreasonable as far as HD shop rates go. I've seen how these places charge, not just the part you need & the labour to install it, but you'll also end up paying rediculous prices for all kinds of peripheral consumables & shop supplies too!
Paul is on Long Island, he can do it as well.
No need to trailer all the way down to PA/MD border lol tolls will probably add up near that shop quote lol
if your in ga bring it by my shop ill do it for ya free if you got the belt. im shocked
oh sorry not sure how i missed where you are the first time. its stupid simple you can do no probs
Thank you for offering to help though.
Raymend unless you really have NO time in your schedule to spare(we all know time is money), go here http://www.buellmods.com/downloads
and download manual. Read over how to replace the belt. Follow Dillingers instructions and feel the sense of satisfaction that comes from wrenching on your own bike!
Now, if you don't have the time and you DO have the money. Keep searching for a better price/rate. The one that started this thread seems a bit high.
Keep this in mind: a shop will probably charge you $200 for a belt and around $100 dollars for an hour of labor to remove the old one and replace with the new one. So, you're looking at around $300 bucks.
If you're lucky.
Good luck.
