Nahhh all those gears would make a TON more friction than a single belt.


Don't see how that thing could last long without some sort of lubrication either....

Sprocket belts last pretty long without any lubrication so I would guess the primary belts would be similar.

I'm sure that gear driven primary sytem will require lube. Can't imagine anything spinning that fast lasting long otherwise. But I could be wrong.
Still, would love to hear and see a video of it if someone was able to find it. I tried, so someone elses turn now LOL

I was going to go with a 7 inch light but changed my mind at the last second so I just used the stock housing.

All this talk about belt drive has me missing mine. You don't see many on floor board bikes though.
