[quote=vinylvillain;279834]The first thing you do on a Harley or Buell when modifying it is bin the belt drive for a chain. You loose too much power in the drive train, and it stretches easily so requires constant adjustment for optimum performance, although they will work well enough even if slack. Their have been numerous Buell recalls due to belt drive issues.
errr no not really, most do filter, carb, pipes, ignition etc, i have a 1600 S&S engined bike and it still runs a belt, not heard of any needing contant adjustment.
