Has anyone used Rivera Primo final drive belts? What was your experience? I had something fall down between my shifter and front pulley that chewed up my belt. I ordered the Rivera Primo 1 1/8" to replace the stock belt. THEN I did some research on aftermarket belts, and got kinda scared.
During my research, I did not see much about RP belts, other than the primary kits they sell. The reviews at J&P were all good, but nobody really talked about how long they lasted. So, I was wondering if anybody has any input. It looks pretty stout, but as you all know, looks can be deceiving.
IMO, if I break my belt, it'll be replaced with the HD one. Like you, I've read more than enough about aftermarket belts not lasting as long as the HD belt.
