No I'm being serious how are people converting the rear to a chain drive ?

The conversion will cost you more than the bike is worth......but there are some out there.

Get a manual from http://BuellMods.com and adjust your shifter pawl, primary chain tension and change the oil.

Don't do a chain swap, you gain nothing in power but lose reliability and increase maintenance required.

How does changing the belt to a chain make the bike less reliable ?

 

[jetlee]

A chain and sprockets wear, belt and pulleys do not. Chain requires maintenance, belt does not.

Hey Speed117, There's no need to start a bunch of new threads when it's the same subject on the same bike It will help everyone keep up to speed and give you better advise.
