Belt Drive Kits

Dry and without oil stains: belt drives for the primary transmission

The biggest handicap of the early belt drives was slippage. The very first Harleys tamed the slipping belt with belt tensioners and used the slipping as a kind of clutch replacement for taking off or stopping. However, the increasing power of the engines brought an early end to drive belts at Harley-Davidson in the mid-1910s. Apart from the three-year factory experiment (FXB and FXSB models 1980-1983), Harley still uses the primary chain today. But of course that doesn't stop a skilled mechanic from developing a smooth and dry-running primary drive based on drive belts, which have been available in excellent quality since the mid-1980s. The result of extensive development work by Cannonball, BDL and Primo for 750cc and 4-speed Big Twins, Softails and Dynas can be viewed and of course purchased here.
