Default Open belt drive on Rocker-C

Has anyone installed an open belt drive on the Rocker? If so, how do you like it and do you have any pics of it installed? Thinking about it myself but would like to see if someone has already done it.

I looked into putting one on when building the bike but the cost was way up there $$$($3,000.00 0r so) mostly due to fact there wasnt a ton of options out there. PM was the one i was lookin at, but they hadnt finished the RnD on it yet.
I like the look but i like the fact im not gonna get debris into my drivetrain. if i was to build a show bike then i would.

I would like to see some pics as well if someone went this route!!

looks great! but does it require more up-keep?

I have a fear it will suck my jeans in and I'd end up spinning...

Open belt is my next MOD. Ultima or BDL is the question though. Which one? Pros @ Cons?

I just see both types on a lot of custom builds. Everyone of them has pros and cons its just I can't pay 3 grand for something like that. If it doesn't work go back to the old way is how I see it.

Definetly not worth 3 grand for this type of mod... especially when u thionk about it it is not a performance upgrade... just a very kewl factor....However if i had the cash i would do it....
