On the strip we've been adding very simple mid tensioners, and a well adjusted belt that has a tensioner can take a beating and be safer than an oil-ring chain.
Some of you have seen what a chain can do if it breaks...
yep, wrap around the front sproket and bust a hole in the case. Better yet wrap around the space between the rear sprocket and swing arm and lock up your rear wheel. No better feeling in the world than going full power in top gear then have your back wheel lock solid. lol.

I was looking at belts for another vehicle...

and some of the ads stated aramid fiber, others carbon fiber. Then there were others still that stated the aramid fiber was what carbon fiber was made from. Don't know what is true, just what I saw in those ads.

Default Goodyear belts

I had my original belt replaced at 77k, on the 07 Ultra, as it was cracked and missing teeth. It was replaced with a Goodyear belt. At 94k it shredded and left me on the side of the road. No more Goodyear for me.
