I've got an 84 FLTC, still running the enclosure. In '90 my chain snapped and blew out the enclosure, I ran it open until I found another at a swapmeet, I complain about it but I won't remove it. It's part of the 84's charm.

I would at least lube the chain untill you figuer out what to do. A change to a belt probably will not be cheap.

You can run it without the boots, you will just need to lube the chain often.

......or you can go this route. 2.2.3 FXR and FLT

Just fix it. If you run it open and let the chain get funky it will wear out your VERY EXPENSIVE and hard to find rear sprocket.
