Are you nuts? My jacket still has oil stains all over the back from those olden days! Belts forever! Long live the drive belt!!!

Check out my pic's of the rightside drive on my Roadie... No trans-case...that allowed me to shorten the bike by over 4 inches...yet,keeping the belt drive. -Warstar _   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #135509 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:chain conversion 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I mean no offense whatsoever, but I wouldn't want to shorten my bike... by 4" or any amount... if anything, I'd want to go a bit longer, so as to stretch out a bit more. I'm an even 6', and I find the stock ergonometrics to be a bit on the tight side for my size. Beyond that... I think just making the appearance totally different, by doing away with the transfer case, and driving the rear wheel with a belt from the right side just makes it totally unique and therefore cool! Every Roadie rider will want to study it just to figure why yours is so very different... and those that know the real reason a transfer case exists in the first place will appreciate you doing away with it for a whole different look without harming the mechanics and workings of it in the least.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #135542 eblack (User) Don't force things, just use a bigger hammer Expert Boarder Posts: 432 Re:chain conversion 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Even on Harleys and customs, the divorced transmission is probably 4-6 inches away from the engine; seems like noone ever moves it closer or further away. Wonder why?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
