Drive belt and what else?
I was running a little late this morning and gouged on it kinda hard, down shifted when I should have up-shifted resulting in a broken belt. I was however, able to coast the rest of the way to work, and clock in on time.
Question is this - Besides the drive belt, what else should I change or upgrade while I've got that much of it apart. It's getting a new tire and front sprocket. The sprocket is quite wore out and this is the failure I've been looking forward to (believe it or not) so I could replace that sprocket.

Then what the hell since you have the primary off and the tranny out might as well drop in a big inch S&S motor.
That S&S motor will need a better clutch, starter, and exhaust....
You do know that Baker now has a reverse gear that allows you to do burnouts backwards don't you???
I think that should do it for now!!!

Baker Transmission comes to mind first.

I wouldn't even think about another belt... Put a chain drive in. They are quiet and can take anything you throw at it... Zippers has reasonable paint to match kits for $400. You'll never worry about it again. And chain wax doesn't fly all over the place........ask me how i know......

Granted I was riding more often then but there is no way I'd go back to a chain.
