and after being on the boards for a while, (perhaps I missed it), I am the first that I know of, to drag an alternator in a corner
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
. Right turn into my neighborhood at about 5-10 mph and got that familiar pipe dragging noise only worse. Crap bounced off my right combat boot and I saw debris scattering in the street. The bike continued to run but I of course pulled over immediately. I put it in neutral with it still running and did a quick look around to see that my alternator belt was fragged all over the road. My Alt guage was confirming the situation of course so I gently limped her home about two blocks. I thought that my right (have two mounted, thought I needed them

) Spirit bell had gotten into the belt, (checked it hard before installation for clearance with no issues) as it too was missing only to find that the alternator bracket is bent and scraped pretty bad on the lower end. CRAP!!! Not a hard fix by Gawd just kind of a pain. I'm pricing a new bracket for asthetic purposed but I've got a ride next Tuesday that the Beast is expected at. Oh well, have hammer, will beat into submission. HEADS UP Bro's. It CAN be done! WooHooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Yes! I have recovered my Spirit Bell, Damn road Gremlins anyway!!!
EAGLE!!!!!
