[QUOTE=SoftailSlim;6553961]Yeah, after the last two topics I started, I've decided that I'd ask if it's okay to do a topic discussing chain vs. belt.

Really depends on the look your going for. Chains are nice, if yer going for that tough guy biker look, ie: chain from wallet to pants loop. The belt is great cuz it can be used from everything from church gatherings to hardcore biker events, kinda more universal. I hope this helps...lol

Why not find a topic that has been approved by the masses and comment on it?

It's amazing!!! You started a thread about future threads. This is all really confusing. I gotta lay down now.

From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..

before retiring I don't remember ever putting over 15k on any bike I owned and 6 had chains and 3 where shaft drives.
I liked the shafts better than chains. less adjustments, and cost, plus I ruined several coats after oiling the chains..
Shafts were fine, never had any problem with them.

Now with the Harley its the first bike with a belt and its been fine for 25k, zero problems and no issues..

I prefer either of those over the chain... Just me...
