- I ran open belt back in the late 70's on shovelhead, didn't have a bit of trouble for quite a while, now run a drag style with outboard support and is great on twin-cam softail, except for dragging it a time or two leaning it too hard in a corner.... By: Guest on: 3-10-2011

- it has less rotating mass so in theend it allows you to apply more power to the wheel instead of using it to get all that metal moving and keeping it moving. By: geartwister on: 3-14-2011
- Been running mine nigh on 20yrs(same one),thru 7 motor rebuilds & 13 on tranny rebuilds.It will take some rerouting,lines oil(primary,vent((you want no oil on that belt))),but no prob.You have 2 ways to go,buy a factory service manual(NOT AN AFTER MARKET!!!),& study it.Or find a good wrench at a shop you trust,talk to other customers,to make sure that their work holds up & that they back it up.
