Just got my parts books in and looking into it the 2006 belt will fit on the 2004-2005 models without changing the pulleys. On a 2003 you will have to change to the 2004 and later pulley. 2004-05 you need G0500.1AAE belt retail $152.00 The old belt supersedes to the new style 2003 need G0400.1AA rear pulley retail 117.00 G0500.1AAE belt retail 152.00 G0604.1AAA idler pulley retail 97.70 40288-95 front pulley retail 63.45 Dave give them the special price | ||

Can the 03 belt guards be retained? I rather like them better... | ||

Midknyte, dont see why not, the only difference that I know of is the pitch difference..11mm for the 03, vice 14mm for tuber, and 04&up XBs, though I could be wrong.... Chase | ||

No, you have to trash the 03 guards. I had this conversation with Daves yesterday. | ||

While the final drive ratio of the 04 vs 03 belt drives is almost exactly the same (within .01), the pulley diameters are quite different. The 14mm pitch tooth pulleys are quite a bit larger, which puts the belt in a very different location. The 03 guards practically encase the belt, and they would clearly interfere with the 04 belt position. Even the front pulley guard is quite a bit different. You don't want to keep them anyway. The rear wheel removal procedures with the 04 belt and guards make the rear wheel removal quite easy, but it's a PITA on the 03 with the guards. Upgrade to the 04 guards, or put the CF equivalents on (that's unsprung mass), when you do the belt conversion. The price of our conversion kit (17082) is 10% off Buell MSRP. Your list was almost complete, Lucas, but you left off the pulley bolts. Really should use new ones. Our kit includes the chrome ones since we include the diamond highlight sprocket instead of the stock black one. I can get the stock black pulley, but it costs more than the diamond Highlight (??), at least for now. Al | ||

I think you also need a new front pulley guard. As always, 10% off retail on whatever you need. | ||

PS, to me it's not worth the money time and work. Just get the newest version of the 03 belt and go ride. | ||

Lucas, Is the belt# G0500.1AAE belt the '06 belt# then? If so that is what Dave sent me and so far it works awsome. | ||
| Daves |
Yes, that is the new 06 belt for the XBs(reg 52" WB) and it also fits Tube Frame models. Glad you like it Ryan. |
