Good To Know
Q: Will this belt fit a non-FLTR Harley-Davidson from the same years? A: This belt is specifically sized for FLTR models; other models like FLHR or FLHT may use a different part number, so verify your bike's belt length and tooth count before ordering.
Q: How do I know if my current belt needs replacement? A: Check for cracks, fraying, or glazing on the belt surface, and measure the tooth count or compare to the 40024-97 marking. If the belt is loose or has visible damage, it should be replaced 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.
