Of course, its just my opinion, and you know what they say about those.
thought about all this as well.

i'm gonna buy gloss black derby and timing covers to replace the finned and stock ones i have now, and to tie the gloss black in more, so there's going to be gloss black on the primary to break up the wrinkle.

the belt guard worried me, until i realized i'll probably just pull it off to see more wheel anyway.

also, if you notice, my bike is all wrinkle on gloss/gloss on wrinkle.

just check out the dash/tank/badges setup and the battery band on the battery cover and the trim piece on the fusebox cover.

I matched the radius of the pulley, trimmed the bottom so its level with the bottom of the belt, and cut out some of that triangle.





The original pulley done up like below would look pretty good.

Yes I say gloss black pulley on your bike for sure. The whole thing not just the center.

Stop messing with the pulley and just throw a sprocket and chain on.
