It is one belt by it's self. There is no other belts there, the timing belts are under the timing belt cover. I think I would take an extra belt on a trip just incase, but it would change out easier than a car. Thanks for your concern. Skip

Ok...Seeing as I've been an automotive technician for over 30 years, I can shed a little light on this subject by way of the alternator being affected by rain. The answer is no. The alternator will work just fine if it gets wet with rain. Car alternators get wet from rain when u are driving in heavy rains (there's MANY vehicles with alternators on the bottom of the engine, near the road). The only issue I see with this mounting design is that something MIGHT hit the casing and cut or tear the wires from the alternator. And that's not really likely to happen. This design actually looks to be a very good one, to be honest (IMHO). I'm actually considering purchasing one for my 1200 as well, just to have as a backup. So, I hope that helps to clear up the mystery and questions....

I looked at all of them I did my research and built my own. It works fine, if anything hit the alternator hard enough to knock the wires off would be the least of your problem seeing as how it's protected under the lower faring. My problem would be am I going to bleed to death because I just lost my left leg or how many will attend my funeral.

i know this is old and beat to death. but i put my own version of the poor boy on my old 84 1200. couldn't even tell it was there. concealed and some what protected from anything hitting it. made my own brackets and modded my timing cover with a drill. cost me less than 100 bucks and that's with the alternator from pull a part 35 bucks. really it's a slick and unnoticeable conversion. easy change out and rebuild if you ever have to.

FM, I like your plan! It's coming up on four years since I did the conversion. No issues, no problems, no nothing! Woo-Hoo!

WOLFY Well, it's on the proper side for oncoming cagers to see. IF your going with the Gatling gun design maybe some blinking LEDS in one tube. MOO-HAHAhahahaha. Never hurts to add yet another light there. Cover it with what looks like a light housing and it actually a thin wafer of LEDS. After looking at that PIX again, man that sticks out.  ALT ON
