Never saw this coming
10/20/14 at 06:57:56

I noticed a new noise and figured it was coming from the belt. Wasn't bad enough to get too worried over. Checked it out yesterday and it was the belt guard rubbing against the rear pulley. Seems that when I set my shocks for a softer ride it allowed my saddlebag support to hit the top of the belt guard on some hard bumps. The rear guard support bent and the center one broke loose. I bent it back in shape and may try spot welding the center support back on but it looks like I'll have to set the shocks for a pretty stiff ride till I get some longer Progressives ordered.

You don't need a belt guard for an excuse to upgrade yer' shocks... ... The crappiness of the stock shocks is plenty reason enough... ...
