Buell: belt vs. chain conversion

[derf]

for regular use, stay with the belt

the thing is that i have to drive to chattanoga to pick up a belt as its the closest one to me and that they are on back order, a chain and sproket is easier to replace and dont have to worry about running out of them in the future...

Ding ding ding.

Buying one would do for at least a couple years.

The new belts have no service interval. They're "lifetime" belts. They can and do break, but it's a crapshoot as to when it will happen.
