Default primary and final belt drive

I am going to be picking up a 1988 Sportster 1200.
One upgrade I want to do also immediately is to change it from chain drive to belt drive. Anyone have any websites or books on this type of upgrade and any recommendations as far as what and where to purchase.

Also, down the road I would like to change the primary to belt drive also any info on this would be great also.

Thanks

Paul

A good place to start may be: http://www.jpcycles.com

but there are other sources for belt drives (very good upgrade).
