Well, I've heard so much talk about chain drive over belt drive yet never gave it much thought----until now.
My son has a HD Sportster with belt drive. The belt broke recently so he went and picked up a new one. 200 plus dollars later he's ready to put it on. But unlike a chain with a master link the belt is one piece. To change it he had to remove his exhaust pipes cuz the sprockets on the same side as the pipes----duhhhh---good engineering huh
, and a slue of other components in order to install the one piece belt over the front and rear gears.
Anyway, some folks say chains are old school---I say, if it works, don't fix it----I'll keep my "old school" Triumph with it's easy to change chain.
Ok, I'm done Harley bashing now----bye, bye----
Paw.
