I've been researching stronger belts for the final drive. I'm adding a Liberty car plus increasing the displacement to 124". It will put out close to 150 hp/tq SAE so I want the belt to hold up. I've seen the Bulletpruf models from MC Motorsports. I'm thinking of getting one or just converting over to a 630 model chain drive. If the belt will hold up, I'd prefer it over a chain. What have you all done and have you had any issues with the belt breaking?

 

abn, I did several searches on this forum on that topic. Many, many different opinions. I only know of one person doing that kind of build on a Deuce. He stayed with a high performance belt. He says the belts are very durable.
You will get as many varied answers if you asked what is their favorite beer?
Hopefully, someone can share their experience with a build like yours. I wish I had the same problem, 124"???? Take care. Bryan

Bryan,
I decided on removing my current 98" setup and going with the 124" build. I know my 98" would have been sufficient but want more low end torque since I will have 2 passengers, the sidecar and occasionally towing a camper. I didn't want to strain the engine any. I doubt I will have any problems with the new build.

I think I will just go with the stronger belt. I have read a few posts of people using one with similar builds and not having any problems.

 

I put a 100" inmy sidecar rig, my wife rides in the sidecar,and Ihave had no trouble with the belt.I did have one berake,but I
picked up a rock.
