The one on the corner of 482 and International Drive, is a HD clothing store only (or rather it was 2 years ago).

Cheers guys. I guess any of the big HD dealers should carry stock :o

Mrs W picked the dates and it was a total fluke that the 200 is on so the clan are getting dragged up there for a bit of race action :yup:

bought a new belt 10 years ago. folks on the site said they snapped regular.
mines done 27000 miles. But seen as I have engine out im gona put new 10 year old 1 in.
mine doesnt have the plate on the side of the frame where u can swop em easy.
its been in a cupboard all that time. dont know if they deteriorate with time.
It is 1 with the ribs on the outside and seems a bit deeper than the original.

Order or check stock over the phone before you go or when you first get there, Don`t expect too much. :roll:

The mint S1 is owned by a guy that works there, on the parts counter. He has a Buell nickname on his identity badge.
He is very helpful and will talk all day about Buells. The only thing is, getting there is a PITA. You have to exit the I4 at 'god world' or whatever it is called and find the back way in....... ;)

The old shop in Daytona is now a clothing only store, you need the new shop if you are buying the belt up there.

If you get a chance go to Destination Daytona, it`s just off the I95 north of Daytona Beach, it is a bit of a motorcyle village with a huge Harley dealer, also Ducati / Triumph and whatever else, the last time I was ther was over two years ago and still being developed.

I bought a belt from that shop. Fortunately it was a few years ago and you can no longer tell that it had "Harley Davidson" engraved in the leather lOl



(they had NO Buell articles at all, and the salesgirl looked very puzzled when I asked. This was when Buell were still going :!: )

Well, that was a great event.
Been to loads of european race meetings over the years but Daytona was something else.
Access to almost everywhere, spotless showers and toilets and brilliant viewing.
The superbikes thundering past at 204mph on the banking is incredible. The Buell sounded great in the 200 and held it's own.

No belt yet but going to the shops tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Bet they have HD mugs and skimpy tops for chicks though....

Saw the HD mugs at Daytona on Saturday. Loads of them dressed in leather waistcoats !

Found a belt at Lakeland HD. Last one $162 plus tax.
