I did (till my last computer died and took all my pictures with it). A guy at Star days in Chattanooga had a trick Roadie with a sprocket right on the output shaft where the T/case was , and a right drive set up rear wheel , and Voila!! really cool custom set up. BB

Oh BB - that sucks!!!! Now that you know, check this out - no reason for that to happen again, huh?

Re:Is a Exposed Primary belt possible? 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
I tried to find his original build pics on the RSR forum, where he shows the coming about of the transfer case drive, so was kind of surprised that they are not in his photobucket album. wonder if that is a private album? Anyway, what the guy on here wants to do is not going to be a swap and play, going to take some customizing, even to get a basic belt drive going.

I did see the link to the pic of the front pulley gear used on transfer case side, would like to be able to see whats behind it though. That set-up would still require the chain as far as I could tell, but then, how do ya cover it to keep the gear oil to keep chain lubed.??

Landon did one heck of a job, certainly could understand why it took 2yrs.

there was a company exotic something who made one for the warrior - it used the left side crank to "spin" it and had a idler on the other end. It look like shit and super fake.

Putting the pulleys (front and rear) on the right side does away with the transfer case pulley ... but then you need a longer belt. Chain is the better way to go and I know someone has done it but I don't have info on it.

warstar is not on often but he would be the best source of info on how his right side conversion is going.
