Open Belt Drive
As winter quickly approaches I'm putting my winter mod list together and at the top of the list is a open belt drive. There's an awful lot of drives to choose from and I'm starting to get overwhelmed with the large selection with prices ranging from $1,200 to 6,000. I'm looking for any info with good or bad reviews and thoughts to help me find a good one!

My boy had just finished fueling-up and was driving past the gas pump and moved his foot in a little to closer to avoid the concrete barrier when it sucked his pants in and ripped him off the bike... Thousands in medical bills, A week in the hispital, screws and plates holding his ankle together, and a fukked up hog, He told me he would have rather give me the 3 G's he spent on the belt drive than go through all of that $hit!!!

Either way, I know people who have died crashing their bike. I choose to still ride anyway. With the way this country has turned panzy ***, if they were that dangerous they would be illegal.

Here we go again. My brothers cousin's aunts sister knows a guy who's brothers has a friend that this happened to. Been riding them for 30 years. Been riding around people that have rode them forever. Always here the story, have yet to meet the guy that got "ripped off his bike" by an open primary.

Heres a pic of my '75 Shovel. Feel free to explain to me how ANYTHING could get caught in that belt, rip me off my bike and kill me.....
To the O/P, I have run both Primo and BDL on my Shovels. I prefer Primo. I have not run the Ultima, but I would have no problem running one as the people who have given them a shot, seem to like them. They are quite a bit cheaper than most units, but I'm not sure that means they are "cheap".
