The Re Evolution......???
Just throwing this out there.
Would you buy a New HD with a Retro 80 ci. EVO Motor ? Carb of course. 4 Speed, Chain drive.
IMO the Best Motor the Co. ever made.
Call it The Re Evolution. Copyright.
My 84 FXST was the Best Harley I ever owned.
Bone stock and 75,000 miles when I sold it, bet it still runs.
If they built it, would you buy it?

I like the belt rear I converted mine to and since final is still 1-1 on both the 4&5 speeds I just changed my 1st /2nd ratios a bit instead , I've got way more than enough motor to overcome any gap in the gearing and winding out the gears on a entrance ramp just sounds awesome with a 4sp .

I commented to the parts guy at the dealer when talking about the 5 speed my mine.
I told him too bad it still didn't come with a kicker.
His smartass comment was, "you didn't go out and add a hand crank to your car did you?"
I miss that old shop. Small, dark, creaky wooden floor, sounds from the service area, and a old school owner that treated you like part of the family.

Unless your running a fat tire or really beating the total **** outa the bike like constant burn off's & wheelies that belt works well . A serious balance & blueprint job on the whole drive train and the dual belts took a whole lot of ignorance and vibration outa my old girl .
