Looks nice but I like replacing worn se compensators and having to replace my primary oil every so often, you just took all the fun out of it!

Always wanted to see one of these installed, maybe some day?

I've always loved the look, but how do you keep from getting your pants caught in it?

Ride Safe

LOL. Well...

I had some (sorta baggy) jeans get caught once or twice, and lost a shoelace.

It's really not that bad...it kinda feels like something bounced-up and hit my leg. My floorboard is spaced about 1/2" (farther out) from stock, and there is ample room.
With the forward pulley cover in place, there isn't too much to worry about.
I would actually consider removing the cover if the front pulley looked better...

Shortly after I got my backplate custom done to accommodate the shifter, BDL released their 2" with the built-in pivot...I spoke to BDL after my install and they said you CAN use the 3" pulley/belt combo with the newer (bagger specific) backplate, but you have to order it in pieces...as no kit was being offered.

I think it would have cost me significantly more to go that route though...

But, yeah, the sound is what it is...I kinda dig it. I love rolling down the highway and hearing the 'rattle' echo off the concrete barriers.

Ummmmm, that's the baddest RK I've seen in a long time. Love the open belt primary. Just another mod that I'm gonna have to save up for...
