Thanks SURFOR Chop!
Basically you replaced the chain with a drive belt system, it doesn't change the look at all, I don't think I will go that way.

 

I love them. I ran them on my last two bikes. The belts are virtually indestructible, last forever, are lighter and smoother than enclosed primary's, and sound cool as hell. The only thing holding me back was the TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR price tag. But Jireh has since released a system thats $750. I am seriously considering it but am waiting till I hear reviews of the unit. The Primo and BDL setups are known and proven setups, but way out of my budget since I just bought a Softail. It seems most of the Dyna board have simply never run them. If that is the case, it makes sense to be skeptical. I have run them for decades. The pants in the belt is a total non issue since they all come with guards and for those of us who run have them open anyway, sucking in a pant leg may startle you a bit, but in a fraction of a second it just shoots the material right back out. Gives you one of those....."what the F was that" moments. But quite literally, nothing more than that. I hope you go for it. I need the review!!!

 

Bikes with primary belts are known for getting real squirrelly, you can see it happen in this video at 4m25s:

I think (know) it's very dangerous if you happen to fall on the left or get your pant leg in that belt. Also, I've never known a person that hasn't had problems keeping the trans and engine aligned. That's why Harley doesn't make the Sturgis model anymore (at least with a belt primary). Can't keep them aligned.

 

I think a couple of folks on here have noted that they did not realize that they making an audible whining sound whenever the bike is running, which might annoy you after a while. I know it would me. Plus, it would take a large chunk of modding cash...biting into other mods...LOL.

 

wow squirrelly got killed

 

I never understood the attraction to the open primary look. Doesn't look that great to me.

 

You are right, it only look good when it is running, other than that, not attractive lol.

 

I like the look of an open primary, but I appreciate the ease of maintenance of the closed primary. Sometimes function is more important than form (at least to me).

 

That video was interesting, I watched a buddy of mine kill a squirrel that ran right into the side of his bike, actually I think the rear wheel spit him back out.
And some people think animals deserve rights.....
