Chain for racing, burnouts , wheelies. I ride fast triple digit all the time no need for chain don’t want the maintenance that comes with it. You have a nice set up and you know what you need for what you do. Nice channel bro
i use a wax chain lube helps keeps the dirt from sticking... easier cleaning....cheers
I’ve got a 08 softtail with tons of work and power although i have no information about the build but just ripped through the belt I don’t think the last 2 owners rode it that hard but it’s got a new owner this is probably one or the better videos I’ve seen so far
belt broke at 32k miles. its party over at that time. I'm switching to chain for repair and availability, grat video. 🤘⚡🤘
Mine just broke yesterday with 30k did u do the chain and was it a good idea?
My fatboy just shredded its belt at 36k yesterday, zippers chain drive on its way, i ride this thing like an Rm 250
if you lube your chain with the dupont teflon spray it does a great job and doesn't sling!
Appreciate the info!
@@officialmac Belts were meant to Hold-Up your Pants Man. 🤣
No Cons All Pro"s
Perfect timing for this video Mac. I'm on the fence about doing this upgrade. I have the chain drive and Man O War Compensator in my shopping cart. I'm taking my bike to Deadhorse in June and really don't want to have an issue with my belt wearing down or snapping along the way.
I always heard that belts were for pants but im definitely trying to keep a belt on my roadking!
Ek chain vulcan sprocket hands down the best combo. Clean and lube every 500 and you won't have any issues. Follow the instructions on the ek box and use a high grade Gear oil.
That’s what I run
Did you know if you use a belt you never have to oil or maintain it... Just throwing that out there.
Chains also rob more power than a belt.
The only advantages to a chain are ease of changing the sprockets and chains. Only important for racing.
Yes i knew that but I make a little to much power for a belt I don't want to be stranded because my belt popped. I always heard they were for pants anyway 🍻
Great video but you forgot one main Con of converting to chain drive.... I raced all my life, starting with motocross... I raced for Kawasaki and monster energy and have basically seen it all... If you are cruising down the road and snap a belt... well yes that sucks replace it and be on your way.... Break a chain while cruising down the road and the chain bounds itself up between the front sprocket and the engine and it will tear the motor to shreds, busting holes in the motor, then you have a problem that you don`t want to deal with..... Yes breaking a chain is quite rare but I have seen it happen numerous times.... anyhow take care be safe
You are right and anything is possible!
and you can get run over by a dump truck to buddy
I too have Raced a lot of Bikes over the years. Mostly Dirt Bikes and Dual Sports. All of them were chain driven bikes, the last racer was a 1972 Bultaco 250 Flat-Tracker, build to the hilt. The Last Dual Sport was a 1993 KLX 650. Never broke a chain one on either of them. However I replace them often, sprockets too.
I did break a few along the way. The one time that the chain busted the engine case was while Hill-Climbing under extreme conditions and Total Power On.
My '89 H-D Sportster XL 1200 Street Tracker went thru the conversion from belt to chain, mainly because the front sprocket was worn-out from the inside. Long story short here the (Front Sprockets), they are obsolete.
So I've also snapped a few chains along the way too. Having a Master-Link or Two in the Tool Bag will get me back on the Road Again, a whole lot faster than replacing a belt, after all Belts are made to hold your Pants-up... Not your Bike. LOL

con on a chain if it breaks doin what you do, be lucky it don't get caught in motor casing
Yo time to upgrade that suspension bro you’ll enjoy the ride even more!
Good assessment
Enjoyed the vid
@Officalmac Just found this video, you have some great info. Are you running an adjustable axel, and if so what is your preference
I cant hear my chain over my exhaust. I have a Vulcan too.
what is under the blue tape with the oil lines running into it
What's under your bag frame
I was wondering the exact same thing
Thanks, salute
What is that box with the blue tape on it under the bag support?
I'm betting it's an oil cooler
👍
Liking it 👍
I disagree just because a man has a chain on his bike doesn’t mean he lays down miles or knows his shit chains always been around lol Chains are used to achieve a certain ride to match strength doesn’t make them dependable take care of your belt and you won’t have a problem people going cross country on belt drive have been for decades.
This bike isn't for cross country riding. A belt is good for cruising and not being aggressive on it. With good hp those belts don't last long launching the bikes

Hey brother my name is Tyler I have snake venom road glide too I love the purple accents on your motor I have a lot of questions for you, how can I get in contact with you dog?? I also am looking into the vulcan chain conversion kit I would love to speak to you dog
My IG is @therealofficialmac
🎯🎯🎯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯
What’s in the box under the bag rail
I seen you in Daytona ain't get a chance to holla at u
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
maintenance interval is a killer for me. I ride very long tours and I beat on my bike. but i cant be out there oiling and cleaning ever 500-1000 miles. no thanks.
Me either...but even worse to break a belt and be stuck then can't fix it right away... chain can be fixed on the side of the road
How much $$ for this kit? Or the whole setup you running?
mine was 778.00 free shipping from vulcan but thats with a 3D ek chain
if you go with a lesser chain its cheaper
I’m curious what was under the blue tape 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Coming soon!
@@officialmac when we gonna see this update on whats hiding under that left side bag?? haha!!
All that money in motor and chain drive and still on factory shocks? Suspension is one of the worst things on a Harley
You about 2years late bud
Chains are all pros when you have a broken belt ............
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we change belts in under 2 hours on the side of the road
