Thru the years, and many millions of miles, belt drive has proven itself.

After some readings I found out that a power vision could fix this issue. I will get mine end off week and will play around with the PV. The real test will be in the spring when all the snow have meltet tho...
Has anybody done this before and got some tips?

My bike setup will be:
Front sprocket 25
Rear sprocket 60
Front tire 19" with 90 in tallness
Rear tire 16" with 80 in tallness

Say you get a kit like bullet proof designs, what type of life can you expect out of the front sprocket with fairly hard use?

When you set the tension on the chain how much play up and down should there be? And is it checked the top of the chain or bottom?

ZIPPERS performance makes *COMPLETE* 530 o-ring chain conversion kits including spacers,hardware and all necessary nuts,bolts and whatever is needed for 1 shot installations .OR......you can BUY (or if need be ) order Transmission Sprockets from BAKER DRIVETRAIN wit the necessary offsets(shoulder)and in the number of teeth specific to your needs ,as well as the Transmission locking ring/sprocket retaining nut. I run 23/48 on my Harleys,and 23/50 on my S&S engined custom builds . Also a fine company called : 3 GUYZ in Washington State makes chain conversion kits as well 530 Anodized O-Ring Chains .

I Use the BAKER DRIVETRAIN Case Hardened Transmission Sprockets on my 530 chain conversions and have yet to replace the Transmission sprockets under hellish hard racing and riding conditions .
