Yeah I saw the info on that but I'm not sure I want to do that type of alteration.
Eventually if I build up my engine a bit I'd probably do the Dragos IDS chain drive conversion- about $600, you chose the final drive ratio, and never have to worry about braking a belt.
I'm with you on this! After just reading this thread from start to finish, I wouldn't consider anything else. I also wouldn't buy any HD again, especially a CVO POS!!
My 2001 Dyna has been abused from day 1,700lbs 93 hp for 2 yrs, then supercharged with 125hp for 3yrs, all with the stock belt, 70,000klms. I then installed a S &S T124, geared it 12% taller with an EK chain drive, 28000klms later, no issues, no overheating, no broken parts, no chrome falling off BNB. Harley will have to come along way back before I'd even consider buying another one. The Twin cam was the motor that made HD become a household name, it will also break HD back it they continue to heap this chit on us. I still love my Harley, but have NO use for the new ones.
Cast cranks, cheap bearings, plastic switches that melt because they're too stupid to place a heat shield around it, God, we're back in 1921 again!!!!! My grandfathers 1917 with sidecar was more faithful I think. twinotter
