Chain / Belt swap
08/05/13 at 12:49:33

The thing I do love about this site is the mods that are tossed around. My bike sports a few of them, the deep well socket risers being the favorite. So now due to a busted belt that recently Happened I would like to hear some about the conversion to chain. I have read some posts but what I really need to know is how hard is it?
What advantages/dis advantages?
Can I still run my belt guard (I think its pretty)?
Is is a direct bolt up or do mods have to be made?
Any help or intel would be appreciated. Wink

The Index with links in the Tech Section is a wonderful place.

Chains require constant lubing and maintenance and only last 10-15,000 miles. Chains are messy and dirty up the rear end of your bike.

A used belt can be had from one of the Ryca converting people (or bought from Ryca as they convert a bunch themselves) for not so very much dollars.

I bought me a chain conversion set up, then never put it on for three years and then I sold it for cheap as the practically immortal belt is jest fine by me.
