Belt-tension gauge bracket position
02/14/12 at 13:42:44

In a major "Doh!" move, while fairing down the swingarm for painting I ground off the little bracket on the underside of the left arm which holds the belt tension gauge gizmo. I now have to make and weld on a new one.
Please give me a dimension off of some part on the swing arm so I can position the new bracket correctly. Also its height off the arm.
Thanks from an idiot.

Twist the belt in the middle at the bottom. If you can twist it about 90 degrees, the tension is OK.

The tried and true method is to grab the lower belt in the middle and give it a twist. If you can twist it 90°, it is the correct tension.
