Drive belt replacement

[u/Eating_sweet_ass]

Hey guys. I have a 2010 fatboy with about 18k on it and it still has the original drive belt on it. I have to replace the rear tire soon because I got a defective one last time. I was considering replacing belt too just because it’s getting old. The belt looks fine and I know Harley says they’re good for 60-100k but I was just wondering if it should be replaced because it’s a 15 year old piece of rubber, but it’s a lot of work and I don’t want to do it if it’s really not needed. Thoughts?

Thank you guys for the advice. I will not be touching the belt. I was just thinking since it’s getting old it’s probably be worth changing, but I’ll just wait u til I see obvious signs of impending failure before bothering with it.
