Chain drive conversion...advice please
I'm currently in the process of installing a Tman 124" kit on my FXFBS. I've been contemplating converting the belt drive to chain drive, but now having second thoughts. What do you gurus think? Smart idea? Or, do you think the belt drive will be sufficient enough? Thanks.

I had 131” on my old street glide pushing 156/156 with the stock belt. No issues at all and I was far from easy on it.

I've read that over 130 hp and you should consider changing to chain. What does Tman recommend?

I heard something similar. I was not able to get through to TR today and wanted to hear what others have experienced in the meantime.
Do you have any experience to share?
