Wow! That is a WIDE-*** belt!

 

The look cant be beat. THe 4" sounds even better. YOu get that whistling sound too.

 

My new Sucker Punch has an open belt. I've torn a couple of pant legs, but no big deal. I have a round oil tank, which makes me tend to carry my left leg out a little more (esp. when it heats up). It looks great, sounds cool as hell, and folks dig it.

 

Have run a BDL open belt for 10 yrs, only time I had trouble at all was when I was wearing a baggy pair of jean. All it did was catch, spin around the pulley and kick back out. Felt like someone slapped me on the thigh as the pant leg was jerked down. Didn't pull my foot off the peg or anything like that. I don't wear those jeans on the bike anymore, though.

 

I've never had a problem catching my pants inmy open primary.All i have to worry about is catching my pants on the points of the outer support plate not thebelt.

 

Is that an Ultama belt drive? I have been thinking of getting one, how do you like it? I have a BDL internal drive andWith the 100" motor, if I really twist the throttle, I rip the belt to pieces.

 

first not dangerous if you dont stick finger in it or your foot,we call this being smarter than the object you are working with.Second if you look you will see the front pulley turns counter clock wise there for it will not suck your leg in.Ive had one for years only problem was drunk bitch to stupid to relize its not foot rest.I love them and will have one on my roadking custom soon.Check jireh cycles 877 681 0448 bst prices around

 

I've been riding mine for 3 years with no problems and same with the guys I ride with. No ripped pants or nothin..

 

I would not hesitate to put one on. Depending on how low your bikes sits and how large of a primary/primary cover one may go with.... those left hand turns could be tough
