Sounds very good.
$350 plus changing one field in the Powervision tune, sounds good for a 6% gearing change on a bike that really would benefit from it!

The open belt drive is also a safety hazard.
One reason that the belt drive might work ok without a compensator is that the belt by its nature helps to absorb vibration and drivetrain shocks.
How long does a belt in a belt drive last? Is it something that needs to be replaced regularly? (since there is no apparent way to compensate for belt stretch like there is on a final belt drive)

The gear indicator thing is solved easily IF you also have a Powervision. There is apparently a numerical field that you simply adjust.
Me, i'm just a belt-drive kind of guy.

Going by the quality of the belt drive system I bought from them - Rivera Primo's quality was top notch. If you have any questions, just call them up - unlike another un-named belt drive mfr., Rivera Primo actually answers the phone AND calls you back if need be.

Thanks for the link Soft, I'm going to guess that's one of the pics from the other thread, all I could see was text as a guest.
I'm thinking about giving this a try, seems inexpensive enough. With my bike being a 2011 should it already have the updated compensator or would I still need the SE version.
