Q: How do I know if this belt fits my FLTC? A: Verify your bike is a 1991-1996 FLTC or FLTCU and that your existing belt has 136 teeth and 1-1/2 inch width. The OEM cross number 40001-85 can also be checked against your service manual.
Q: What are signs my rear drive belt needs replacement? A: Visible cracks, frayed edges, or missing teeth indicate wear, and a loose belt may cause slipping or noise. Replace the belt if you see these conditions to avoid drivetrain failure.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
