[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 103272, member: 597"] I see on here Peter mentioned about a conversion to belt drive. On the twins that Neal and Rodney have built, these have a belt drive for the magdyno, the outer cover is wider than a standard original one. I am not sure by how much as I haven't seen an original one for some time, but it is wider. This also means that the rear exhaust header pipe is slightly more to the right to clear the cover. The belt is only about 10/12 mm in width, the pullies are obviously wider than a stock sprocket, and even with the wider outer cover they only just clear internally. It is a neat and tidy job, probably free of normal maintenance and adjustment, that with the belt primary are sensible upgrades. The dry clutch is fabulous and makes for perfect gear shifts and selection without any "Crunching"into gear. Something to think about............. [/QUOTE]
