Who makes a good chain drive conversion kit for a 2016 Street Glide? I know Dragos does. But, it can't be ordered online. And they haven't returned my calls. I know they're busy. But, I can't wait around the phone waiting for a call back from them. My job involves driving and I'm not always available to answer calls. Last piece I'm waiting for to get started on my build.

Chains suck.

 

Thanks guys. Ordered the Zippers kit.

 

Ya dude, chains are noisy, not a smooth transition. I agree with Zerk!

 

I hate maintaining them, and short life. If you don't ride much, they are ok. But lubing and adjusting every 500 miles, is not for me.

 

I had a chain on my 98 RK for quite some time. Just replaced the front and rear sprockets to do so. Allowed for easy changes in gear ratio as well. I had the chrome metal belt deflector on mine and had to remove it for proper clearance. The chain wasn't noisy and also road pretty smooth. Like Zerk mentioned, chain adjustment was constantly needed even with the heaviest o-ring chain that I could buy.

People that say this have never had a bike with a modern o-ring chain.

First, o-ring chains do not need to be lubricated, just occasionally cleaned...the lube is inside the rollers, and the o-rings keep it from getting out...putting lube on the outside just attracts dirt and wears the chain out sooner.

After the break-in stretch, they require very little adjustment..I adjust mine once a year.

If you can hear the chain over the exhaust...you need louder exhaust

 

I'm just curious. Not questioning you, just curious. Why would you want to go to chain drive from belt drive?
