Help required (Ch-ch)

**BuzzbomB** · 25th December 2008, 17:53

Buellbunny needs HELP (desperately). We've ridden down from Jafaville to spend xmas with the rellies in CHCH and Buellbunny's busted her blasted belt! We were hoping to get on with our S Island Tour on the Saturday but with the holidays happening we're wondering if we can find anyone servicing Buells and stocking the parts (drivebelts) who can put their beer down long enuff to help get us sorted and back on the road by the weekend!

We've left messages with the local Harley shop (Rolling Thunder) but hoping someone might see this and help get us sorted even though its holidays etc.

Email here or phone on mobile 027 6374 851

Many Thanks!!

12R/9R have different gearing, it's likely the belt's shorter... Just checked the manual but I'm none wiser, sorry.

You could check the likes of SKF or possibly Wilsons, they may have a non-Buell belt that'll fit. If so it'll be a damn sight cheaper also.

Good luck.
