Default Open Belt Drive for 48?

Anybody know who makes a sweet looking open drive for the 48? Evolution and Nasty make them but they are ugly as sin looking.

Pretty much any belt drive I've seen for the Sporty looks idiotic. Most of that has to do with the short distance from engine to trans. The BT ones look better because of the longer distance.

Like was said the sportys have a shorter distance so they are never going to look the way you want. BTW the tank is cool looking.

Thanks...the tank and bike is constantly changing. Some love the tank and others hate it. That's what makes it fun toying around with things. I can remove the tank cover in seconds.

I agree the distance is too short which makes it look odd. Hmmm what to do? Buy another bike!
