If I were gonna go chain drive, I'd be going the route Dan went ~ the solution form 3guyz.com.

I almost installed one for a customer recently, but discovered the aftermarket (cheap-o?) rear bling-bling pulley was worn and cutting the belt(s).

Lyn ~ is that for the new SG? How is that thing?

Phil,

it's for the 09 RG--the SG has the semi-wide belt on it--i think it will hold up a little better than the new thin belts -- it's been so cold here I have not had a chance to ride it -- we still have ice on some streets -- I did see a guy riding Sunday it was 20 degrees out with ice -- he was on a Honda Shadow -- I was thinking that must have be his only means of transportation -- I got cold looking at him

check your belt tension. My bike is making more grunt than yours and my belt looked great last time I changed the back tyre.

Either that or stop trying to get it on the back wheel at every opportunity!

Don't waste your time with 3guyz. I've had at least 8 or 10 conversations with Andy about this over the course of a couple months. In the end he blew me off with a price of $1500 or so. They're not interested in doing it. They need to get a '09 and up chassis bike in there to do the mockup. First two convo's I had with Andy he told me bring the bike it, he'd mock it up and do the labor for free if I pay for parts.

After many follow-up calls from me (as he claims he was getting the run-around from his vendors) he finally threw a number at me just to make me go away. Whatever. There are two local guys who'll do it complete for 1/2 the number Andy gave me. Like I would pay for their R&D time so they can use my bike to make a kit to sell to everyone else... Umm, no.

Just be patient. Or if you need an immediate solution, and want to keep your IDS, here ya go:
