It is. Every HD since 1990. Works well and low maintenance. Higher driveline loss than a chain, but marginal.Originally Posted by bigbjorn
I had a XL1200R - the "roadster" with twin discs. But I had longer Progressive 416 shocks on it. Had I kept it, I would've bought Ohlins. But I sold it. And now I want (totally inexplicably) to get an XR1200X to keep the other bikes company. ButI might get a '92 FXRS-Sp instead if I can find one in good nick.Originally Posted by bigbjorn
Now, you see, why would I want to ride a bike like that? I don't like a sore arse (no ****). I want a comfy, if somewhat sporty, ride.Originally Posted by Piobaire

What do you find one gains having a chain or shaft drive, besides the added pain ********** of maintenance? I have both chain and belt drives, and I've seriously considered looking in to retrofitting the Triumph with a belt drive. Chains are a pain to maintain (as bigbjorn stated correctly above) and I don't think there's anything gained.Originally Posted by gnatty8
Chains are made of metal. Driveshafts are made of metal. Belts are made of rubber. Simple as that. Maintenance on driveshafts is less than on belts or chains.Originally Posted by Tokyo Slim

Reminds me, did you ever get your motorcycle endorsement? Remember you were going to give it another shot after taking the MSF last year..Originally Posted by gnatty8
LuxeSwap Auction - Nicks Hand Made 2022 Hickory Brown Unlined Leather Boots The term indestructible is thrown around loosely sometimes, but this pair of Nicks Boots, offered up by LuxeSwap, might really be. Often discussed around the forum, Nicks handmade shoes are not for the faint of heart - or wallet - luckily, this is a no reserve auction that started at just $9.99.
