1984 Bagger Questions
I have a 1984 FLHT with an EVO. What would it take to convert the mechanical speedo over to an electric speedo? My transmission does not have the place for the sensor in it for an electric speedo sensor. I am also curious as to what it would take to convert the final drive from the enclosed chain to a belt drive? I have heard that if i just take the enclosure off it will leak because the primary also oils the final drive chain. Is this true?

Might be some work involved, here is an excerpt from an email from my Brother:
This time around I converted the original enclosed final drive chain to belt drive and installed a primo brute primary belt drive. Doing this required me to build a new transmission using parts form my '84 and a case, main shaft and main gear from an '86. An '86 inner and outer primary case was also required. My son found the outer case for me through the Harley dealer network.

Thanks guys.... Ill be sure and post it over in the Touring sections. I think after all I am just going to plug the holes for the self oiling deal and leave the final drive as a chain. sounds like it would get too expensive building a new transmission and new primary. I appreciate it guys.
