Drive Belt Replacement

2001FLHT

I have a 2001 FLHT with a broken belt. I have worked on bikes before but never replaced a drive belt on a touring model. Is this too complicated?? Should it be done by dealership? Can I do this myself?? Please advise....

It gets a bit involved. Being you have a 2001 FLT, here 9 pages of documented pics that will take you from start to finish on your bike. Only YOU can be the judge of whether you can do it or not.

The primary gaskets will need replacing both inner and outer. It's not that difficult but it is time consuming and some special tools are needed too.
