I am really looking forward to all these mini videos. I have the same bike and have been thinking about doing all the same stuff. Also your editing skills get better with every video, keep it up mate 👍🏻
awesome vid man thanx!! a couple vids didnt show how to do the rear sprocket i think ya want 3/8 play on the chain, Going with the chain to get a bigger tire..that 1 7/8 socket was $60 🤯
The biggest complaint about the belt drive is the replacement on a big twin but on a sporty it is pretty simple to replace. Why you would go back to a maintenance headache, noise and oil on everything pain is beyond my pay grade. That is customizing I guess. The aftermarket can now sell belt drives to people that have chains. Or better yet go buy an old sporty with a chain drive see how that works out for ya!
Great idea. Nothing I love more then cleaning chain and recoiling on my Ninja 1000. Adjusting it every so often. Never have to touch my Sports Glide. How boring is that. Bikes are ment to be ridden not make more work and looked at.
Recently did the chain conversion on my 1200c and got a lot of scraping of the chain on the exhaust bracket at lower part of the passages pegs, did you get any scraping? Ended up curing out the exhaust bracket. Thinking of getting the chain slider, but not sure if it will stop the scratching at the bottom of the passages peg.
How much more torque and did you go with the standard o ring chain or the x ring chain. Im doing the same to my 2000 1200s and opted for the gold 530 x rings.
That looks way better with the chain. I need to do the same to mine. Thanks for adding all the torque specs.
Love these 72,48,883 ones....simple to dis n reassemble .....chain,belt quick.....no operation like on big ones....😂😂 Right side sprocket is best ....

Dude how'd you make that look so easy to do? ... looking forward to the next mods.
90-100 ft lbs is way too much for the procket locking plate are u sure the manual said that ?
PLEASE NOTE! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A CHAIN CONVERSION FOR SPORTSTERS WITH ABS BRAKES. THE CHAIN HAS BEEN WEARING ON MY REAR ABS BRAKE LINE.
How is the chain slider holding up?
Only thing unnecessary was the belt.
