It looks retro but adds a belt



I would never buy anything belt drive, can't be fixed along the road and have to take half the bike apart to change one.

My Indian belt is supposed to last for 30 K before regular replacement. A big improvement over belts when they first came out, years ago. My local mechanic mentioned that HD has some kind of a two part swing arm setup, bolted apart(?) that makes the belt easier to replace. don't know myself. But Ian, you know that the days of working on your bike alongside the road are long gone now, unless you ride antiques, like we do. The crescent wrench has been replaced by the cell phone. One thing good about that, I still have a tool pouch, only now, I carry a spare set of glasses and a pack of gum in it! Sometimes, when I look back, I think I was crazy to go clear to Canada or South Carolina on my Hinkley Triumphs. Sure, I could fix most anything on these bikes, but I never had to.
