Looks like fun, I'll be doing (or at least attempting and valiantly failing) a similar service on my CBR after this season.

Nice Bike! I'm not exactly minding the Bmw's either.

Did not know Dukes had belts. They do look a bit w0rn, IMO. If the belt on my HD looked like that, I would be concerned. Surprised at how few tools were required. I am assuming those are the specialty tools.

You were saying what you knew and I was saying what I thought I saw. No big deal to me.
