Belt to Chain Conversion (Dyna FXDC 13)

They look great and gear changes are easier plus they will handle more power.
But there is no way I'd convert mine over while it is a daily driver.
It will also be money lost at resell time.
That said I may end up doing on on my Fatbob eventually if I end up with a 117"-124" motor in it and start taking it to the drags.... i.e. being able to withstand more power and doing gearing changes is actually useful.

ewwww a chain is dirty! Somebody might not like that when you're parked at dunkin donuts. If you want to run a chain, do it. The list of pros is far longer than cons. I run one cause I have to. Yep, it's a little dirty, a little noisy and I've had to adjust it twice in 8k miles behind 140+hp.

A chain only makes sense on a high power bike that keeps breaking belts. Love the simplicity of the belt and I have owned numerous chain drive bikes over the years. There is a reason that Harley decided to use a belt. Have fun lubing, adjusting and cleaning that thing.
A buddy has an S&S 124 on one bike and an S&S 111 on the other both chain drive. For him it makes sense due to the extra power but for a stock bike....never. Looks? Who looks at the chain or belt? No one.
