Depending on how much you pay FOR the belt. Putting it on is simple,do it yourself and its free. | ||

+1 simple to do yourself. My belt broke on my '03 XB, as well. It's an easy job to replace. However, it is a little time consuming if all the original belt guards are on your '03. It probably took me longer to get all those guards off than it did to loosen the axle, pop the wheel off and replace the belt. Also, is that shop familiar with Buells? It can't be a HD/Buell Dealer at only $50 bucks an hour. | ||

yah its a custom harley shop another bueller recommended the mechanic too me. I have other issues I don't have the technical knowledge too resolve so. One of my heads is leaking a small bit of oil and it misses allot so I am having the plugs replaced and that leak looked into. | ||

There is an upgraded belt available for the '03 models that you will want to check into. It is much stronger. Or you can do a full upgrade and install the '04 and up belt but you will have to replace the pulleys and the idler as well. Keith |
