Title: electra belt drive
Post by: lytedrive on September 16, 2013, 11:52:55 am

the double row chain weighs 3 pounds
the 30mm wide belt weighs 6 ounces,

i think maybe 2 hp gain is possible,
any thoughts?

I think the electric starter won't work with it, and there are no Electra models in the us which don't have electric start.
It is questionable if the crank mounted ignition and alternator system will fit on there with the wider belt cog.
Compatibility with this model is questionable.
