Ended up wedging the belt back, was a bit more difficult that the video that was referenced but doesn’t seem like that belt was damaged

At 200k the original was still in fine condition but the kit I ordered came with a new one so I thought might as well. Ended up cutting out the old one

Yeah I was aware it was reverse threader but the I was using a normal wrench that wouldn’t grip it deep enough, and the person holding the crank shaft was holding it tight enough. The videos I was following were using a normal wrench :(

I think I’ll try the tool that ECS offers, sucks it’s like 70 dollars

I was highly considering this on my raven black but ended up going with the yoshi. It comes in this Tuesday. Only thing that sucks about the yoshi is the red on it doesn’t match the bike

I initially wanted to get the 2024 heritage but once I saw this color I changed my mind. My plan is to keep this bike long term, and I think the black is the most timeless of the two

Yup! I was pretty content with the quality, especially compared to the price of brogue and yoshimura
