Hi Guys
Winter is slowly setting in which means time for some mods
I'm planning to do a open primary drive on my 08 rocker.
Have been looking at different manuf's like
BDL
Ultima
Primo
Riviera
I'm completely lost on which one should I go for, when it comes to an open primary drive on my FXCW/C.
Anyone running this on their rocker or softail and why did you choose one brand over the other.
Thanks
Another question since you dealt with BDL,
I had a chat with JP cycles cust service & that told me that any softail drive that BDL made for 08 would indeed fit my rocker.
I wasn't convinced with his answer but wanted some body opinion also
No you need a spacer plate between the motor and drive. That's all I got outta BDL. I tried contacting them couple more time to see if I could buy it with a BDL kit and I got no response. It might be possible to use a kit for a 09 CVO Springer since they both got 240's.
Currently running 2" extended forward controls by PM. My bike is lowered so had to go with a 2006 arlen ness kickstand that bolts onto my controls. Would it still have a problem with this setup or probably I can get a arlen Ness rear kick stand.
Any thoughts
Not sure what that stand looks like. Check to see if any part of the stand touches the primary. If not you should be good. My bike is lowered as well, air in back and drop ins with shorter tubes in front

I like the look of BDL & yes as you said BDL makes for PM also.
Anyhow found out the part number that BDL makes for a rocker from the guys at BDL.
"EVO-8SR"
Poor thing this part number is not listed on any of the sites like JP or phat...
Phat performance came back to me with a pricing of 1700+shipping,much cheaper than JP quoting me 1983+shipping
