| Belt drive primary
What are the advantages of runnin' an open belt primary on a basically stock harley, instead of the stock chain? (other than the Cool Factor?) Maintenance isn't an issue cuz my M-6 takes care of chain adjustment, and changin primary oil is cheap & easy. Any thoughts? |

| Lighter wallet reduces weight on bike causing you to feel like your faster, bottom of jeans get torn and worn, rocks tossed into the open center if you don't have a $500 cover tear holes in belt, get to buy new belt.
Sounds and looks good but probably not worth the $1500 to $3000 investment

| Thanks for the input. Think I'll stay with the chain. There ain't no leaks, and I can't hear it anyway, the pipes are freakin' LOUD. | |
