I HAVE A 2001 FLHTPI AND ON THE INSIDE OF THE BELT GUARD THER WAS A RUBBER LIKE FLAP AND IT FELL OFF CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM RUNNING BIKE WITHOUT THIS FLAP

 

It just gives a bit more protection from debris getting into the belt area. Some guys remove the entire guard.

 

THANKS FOR RESPONSE

 

ive seen a couple bikes with rocks inbedded in the belt, bummer and expensive, try to keep the guard intact!!

 

That flap keeps a lot of unwanted stuff out of the belt and sprockets. I would replace as soon as possible. It's cheaper and easier to do than replacing belts and sprockets.

Regards,

Bill

 

Here's a good rule...
If it didn't serve a purpose why would the dealer put any effort into putting it there?

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE RESPONSES I REPLACED THE GUARD THIS PAST SAT IT IS AN EASY FIX AND THE PART WAS 26.00 DOLLARS TANKS AGAIN

 

Glad you got 'er fixed.

Check your CAPS LOCK, I think it's stuck. Don't know if you know this or not, but ALL CAPS is considered YELLING on the internet.
