This week got a new tyre installed on rear wheel of 2010 Ultra Classic and went through the procedure of reinstalling wheel.
Bit of a struggle on my own but, all seemed well. Belt deflection adjusted using gauge looked good and all tightened up 100ft/lbs.
Isolator rubber cleaned and pulley inserted. There was a bit of a gap and thought this would disappear when all torqued up. Did not look again.
Left the side bags off, put the beanie helmet on and went for a 100 mile ride to bed tyre in and see if all is well.
With panniers, rails and rubber mounted mufflers, there has always been rubbing noises. Especially with open lid. What I could hear clearly this time was rubbing accentuated as speed rose.
Drive belt is aligned with the two axle cams before tightening.
The videos I made are too large so, what I did see is about 3mm play to and fro on the pulley (wheel not moving) and still the gap between pulley and
Maybe the sound is normal and me being too worried.
