Bet y'all have never seen this happen. I thought rocks would be my biggest problem.

 

[Notgrownup]

Damn, I bet you’d notice that going in there.

I guess that's a reminder to all of us to be careful what we straddle on the road. Hopefully, you were able to get it out without too much difficulty.

Did your belt sustain any damage?

Ruined the belt. Started teardown today.

I'm sure i kicked it up in our 900 ft long driveway, through the trees.

Wow, I've never seen that one before, damn !!!!

Thats a big job, & a few $$ you should call your insurance company even if you're doing it yourself.

I'll do it for 500. Two hd places wanted 2k. Deductible is 500.

Ya, pitifull design.

Is there any way to fashion a metal or aluminum tray directly in front to prevent that in the future?

I have been thinking along those lines but i'm guess the airheads at hd didn't want to trap dirt, gravel, etc.. I'm going to do something, just don't know what.

I know it's apples to oranges but CSC uses a steel panel (gravel pan) that goes from just behind the motor to just under the differential to protect the driveshaft. It has bends that curve up on the side and it's attached to a sub frame and protects the driveshaft. It's not completely closed off but would definitely protect from stuff bouncing up off the ground and up like what you experienced.

That's a new one but not necessarily a surprise.

That may work. Even a flat sheet under the belt.

 

[JUSTME1951]

I'm going to look at that idea. Maybe even a screen of sorts. If i ever have to go through this again i'll opt to junking the whole trike.
Got the rear fork loose today and just waiting on new belt. Should have totally back together by sunday. Y'all know; there was a time i said i would never get another Harley.

 

[Gorilla]

Yep that is not an easy job

Actually no. I imagine it got flicked up and started and as i rode the belt gradually feed it in and wore into the belt. Really no loss of power.
