On my 06 Deluxe I removed everything EFI and installed a Mikuni HSR42 with a Thunderheart standalone ignition. Then I removed the final drive belt and put on a Zippers chain kit. Then I removed the primary and installed a 3” BDL open belt primary. Also installed new cams, lifters, bearings Blah Blah Blah.

When I twist the throttle and let out the clutch there is no rubber band safety effect. It is at this point where I apparently tuck in my legs closer to the engine for wind management and self-preservation when my bike tries to tear off my left leg.

After destroying 3 pairs of jeans in 2 weeks I have found a new use for electrical tape. Covering it up with the included cover is not an option.

Would I install an open belt primary again? In a heartbeat!

Looks amazing man!!

 

Just curious how much does a open belt primary costs in parts? assuming labor is done personally

 

See, now you have a reason to wear shorts and flip flops

 

Thanks mean green

 

I did the work myself, with the specialty tools needed and parts about $2000.00.
