Well I got this e-mail from my local HD dealership after I sent them pic of the pulley.
Harleys reply,
In all my years of working for Harley-Davidson I have never seen that before.
Firstly, as to why they have clamped it like that when removing a tyre I do not understand, and secondly grinding down the teeth has now just destroyed that rear sprocket.
If you were to fit that wheel to your bike it will destroy the belt in no time. My professional opinion would be you need to have a new rear sprocket which costs £344.50.
I've been intuch with the owner of the bike dealership today he was reluctant at first to accept that the pulley sprocket is no longer usable.
He tried to convince me to put the wheel back on and he said if it tears up the belt in the next 2k he would then replace it and the belt plus do the install.
I told him that's not going to happen, I'm not going to take the chance of the belt tearing off when im doing 70 odd mph down the road. (Good chance he would back out anyway)
He tried using the age of the bike, I'm not going to pay for item that's been on a 11yr old bike,..i said what's the age got to do with it!, the fact is,.. it's the original sprocket with the original belt and the belt is in good condition
After a good fourty minutes later knocking it back and forth,....he agreed to pay half the cost to replace it," and he almost pulled a fast one" but I cought it,
I told him you being a dealership you pay the tax and shipping costs I'll only pay half the cost after your wholesale discount. He agreed.
I contacted my HD dealership part # 40217-07 66T sprocket and (5) 3109 screw w/washers ass.
He says I'll give you a discount.
He comes back to me and said, for everything including tax 310.04 delivered
So Monday I'm expecting to hear from this Chris fella and see what he comesup with.
BTW. I lifted the hold on the tyre payment
