Which is fine for the front plug. You can't even see the rear without the airbox cover off. It's completely blocked by the frame.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying I don't have big hands, and there's no way I personally could ever do the rear plug without the tear down.

Ideally, yes. I've been looking at them for about a year now. Just can't afford to throw down that kind of money on a bike.

I don't like the Victory bikes. They don't have any nuts.

It's ridiculously easy to work on.

However, one big misconception about the belt. It doesn't last forever. It just doesn't have a service interval. I wore one out in about 12000 miles. And they're quite expensive...

Truth with the rear wheel, but I think the torque specs are a bit higher...

On the 1125's, it's a lifetime warranty belt. I've got 15,700 on mine and still good to go.

Look into that. I thought the same thing. It's a "life time belt" not a life time warranty.

All it means is that the old belt was supposed to be replaced at XX,XXX miles. The new one just gets replaced when it breaks.

If your dealer is warrantying the belt for you beyond the initial bike warranty, then you have an awesome dealer.

If I'm not mistaken, a belt is between 180-200 dollars.
