Due to picking up something on the road I now have to replace the belt. I'll let you know how it goes.

One of the main reasons I went with a gold wing instead of another Harley nightmare job
Must be nice to own something that NEVER breaks, NEVER wears out, NEVER has any problems whatsoever, and allows you to go onto the Harley area offering nothing useful other than snide comments like that. :Shrug: I bet GW's never run out of gas either.
My belt has a cut thru the drive lugs all around the belt plus a four inch chunk out of it. The chunk is thru the lugs and about half the width of the belt. The throttle on my trike sticks wide open at times and I'm afraid it will break in one of those sticky moments! :10:
I am pulling my primary now and found out the inner primary has to come off before I can remove the stator rotor. Also I left my clutch assembly together. Came out as one assembly. This is my first time taking off these parts on the newer Harleys. I am use to the older style with the sorter primary cover bolts. Noticed they have now Long bolts that go all the way threw to the inner primary from the outer primary.
Lots of new things to learn...
You may search the internet there are videos that show people in perfect conditions making the job look ( oh- so- simple) just to make you look and feel like an idiot, but you will see a whole lot to take the scarry out of the job.
I wouldn't be supprised to see a $1000.00 bill go to the dealer to do the job.
You could probably estimate two mechanics at the shop 8 hrs. for the job.
Good luck!
Been there done that, got the scarred knuckles to prove it.

Dear trikermutha:
I am old shcool myself. The newest bike i have is 24 yrs old.
The long bolts are a new one on me too.
I am picturing in my mind the stator cover that is about 6 inches in diameter,
I cant see how you can remove the inner primary cover without removing the stator cover and stator. under that cover you will find the stator which is magnetic. there should be 3 small screws holding your stator in place. the cover may frustrate you but it does slip over the windings on the stator. (it may not feel like it wants to come off)
Take a look at where the wires come through the case. it should tell you what side of the primary its on. when you remove the stator you will have to push the wires through the case to remove the stator and there for your inner primary cover.
(use a little silicon on reassembly to prevent leaks)
Im not saying for sure the inner primary has to be removed first, but thats an alegin concept to me!

Its a little more complicated to perform this task on a Triglide, without getting the book out I beileve the rear differential has to come out. Also as trikermutha said the clutch plates don't have to come out of the clutch basket, the compensator bolt is a lot tighter than 120 ft/lbs. If the OP is decides to tackle the project him self he would be best served to buy the service manual and trike supliment before he starts.
