Me (too). But I liked the belt drive when I had one.

My OEM chain has 22,000+ on it and is still in fair shape. I've never gotten more than 14K out of one prior to this. I don't know if they are that much better than they used to be or if it is something I am/am not doing.

i got 22 on my chain too-looks gd still. steel sprockets. other bike had 18 before i stretched the arm and swapped sprockets

i hear the belts last 50k+ on the regular harleys...maybe thats why they're pissed?
