    They pick up a lot of sand here and cause a lot of problems . Need to be cleaned out a lot too.
    We have a lot of roads with rocks on them. Don't think I would want a rock gettin in the belt.

    Well, to each his own, I guess. I've laid my bike down twice already on the primary side and never had a problem getting away from it. I happen to think the risk of an unguarded belt is minimal if one is careful and doesn't wear bellbottoms!:roflmao:

    Besides, those covers are butt ugly - I don't like any of them.

    Got a buddy of mine that was in a wreck with his Harley. Open primary.
    When it hit the ground with him on it, the throttle got held open and the open belt was dragg'n the bike around on the road.:rant:
