open belt drive fatboy lo

I agree. It really takes ALOT to destroy a 2 or 3 inch wide belt. A buddy managed to put a hole in his from a rock years ago. I think he still runs the same belt. They are very reliable systems that get a lot of negativity from people who have never even installed or ran one.
most 3 inch belts without guards will end up with rocks and stuff like that in them, u just have to check over them and try and get them out as best you can

I'd love to put one of these on my ride. I have the Harley Goodies floorboard extensions which gives at least an extra inch to inch and a quarter. I'd imagine a 3" would fit! But...I need about $3000 for that PM one that I really like the looks of. Time to start saving.

Not a very good close up pic but the only guard I ran was a custom made one around the front pulley (it is black if you can see it). The center guard was the only one I ran other than that. The only reason I ran the front guard is because I am short and my left heel rested on that guard.

I was under the impression that general maintenance was much easier than the enclosed chain. What negativity do you wish to share?

3K for that set up but standard drives are cheaper. I know your have a 2010 model but this will give you an idea.

Wow...that one is STILL $1500! I was hoping that Dr. V-Twin had made a typo...
Well, I guess that settles it. This mod is one that is going to be definitely waiting at least until next winter. I definitely could not justify the cost at this point and time.
Guess I should add that to the disadvantage side in my comparison...cost to get into one. lol.
Thank you, 2006FLST. I appreciate you doing my homework for me.
PS - How'd you know my bike is a 2010? It's not mentioned in my sig...
EDIT: Colour...I get it. The silver with blue pin-striping was restricted to only the 2010 models.

It says 2010 Crossbones under your name. Yeah those open belts are pricey. That is why I don't have one on my heritage. Most of the cost is the motor plate.
