" yeah falcons they're shit " does not really further the debate. Do you have personal experience with said belts ? Could you enlighten us all as to why they are shit ?
A belt is a consumable product, it has a life span, my original belt lasted 18000 miles over 9 years. Can I expect hundreds of miles or thousands of miles from the falcon belt? If I get 8000 miles and four years use out of it Im quids in, or is that too high an expectation based upon actual product use.
American forums rate them as good value and better still they are made in the USA with connections to Goodyear. According to our American friends Gates manufacture H-D belts to a higher spec than their own belts. If Gates branded belts are inferior to H-D belts then we should all bite the bullet and pay the extortionate price that H-D demand for their products.
Yes they're shit and my reason for saying that is because i had to do a 100 mile round trip with my trailer to pick up an X1 that had done less than 2000 miles on one.
