CHAIN CONVERSION - DYNA & FXR 

Chains are the way to go unless your lazy and don’t want to maintain it, most Harley guys and girls just want to wash wax and go, but the chain is so much better

The mod I’ve been holding off on for the simple fact that you have to maintain a chain.

Thank you for covering this topic. Comes down to looking fly and handling a lot of power vs low maintenance. How do they feel different while riding?

Definitely looks dope for sure. The sleek look of the belt just does it for me. Im only making 130 hp 135 tq. But it’s mostly highway. I don’t really stunt either.

That bike is a oxymoron, the model is LOW RIDER and it's lifted like a dirt bike

Um that first scene has a big ole puddle under your rear tire? And your shock looked blown? Are you seriously getting lube thrown that badly? My dirtbikes that I lube every ride don't even throw that much oil on the bikes. It's like on my sprockets.. front chain guard and rim if I over do it. I wouldn't use whatever your using if its that messy. Find something better. Are you running a lube or wax? I perfure wax. But I don't have a chain on my dyna. I'm planning on it eventually thoe.

Shaft for me hate the maintenance Previous bike was shaft driven now got a chain Next one gotta be shaft again

I did it on my Dyna, the parts was a few hundred bucks and it was a big job.. as in I wouldn’t wanna pay a shop to do it $$$$$$. It looked badass! I never ran the chain guard like you, so chain lube would get all over the place. In retrospect I would’ve ran the chain guard. I speculate that your sprocket bolts broke because maybe the shop used the same ones from the belt sprocket? They’re supposed to put new ones on, that’s why I like doing these jobs myself. I got my new bike here, its just an M8 softail and I would not do the chain swap again. But this conversion is totally at home on a Dyna, it just goes with the rest of the bike!

Unless you are up for wheelies (which would damage the Harley before its time) who wants to deal with shorter life and maintainance

Short answer: Hell yeah! Longer one: Maintenance is not that bad and the main benefit for me is longer shifts. It gives me 5/10 more miles on 5th gear over belt with the same RPMs, so thats engine saving, highway speed to keep up with my brothers, rather than get a 6 speed gearbox. My chain equipped bike is a ‘99 FXR2 CVO. My 4th FXR so far, so I notice the difference! Killer looks, obviously! 🤘😎⚡️

I run a chain on my FXR and the stock belt on my Dyna. The way I ride now they both work fine. Chain looks cooler.

Didn’t you also do a video on why you haven’t switched to a bagger bike like a street glide or road glide?

It has its advantages and the cool factor 🔥🔥🇺🇸

Hey Bro, how could you post a video on Chain adjusment for that bike.

Chains got the looks but I just can't be bothered to do chain maintenance anymore. Belts for life 👊

Aarp bolts 😂. senior citizen bolts ftw

What kit would you get?

*DAYUM SO MANY VIDEOS WHAT IS HAPPENING*

First!

I did exactly the same thing to my (brand new oem) sprocket bolts when I did my conversion. Sheared all 5 at around 2k miles. New wheel hub, spacer and sprocket plus some fresh arp hardware later and haven’t had a problem since. Id recommend going with arp’s off the bat.

Nope. Totally not worth it.

The more you mess with it, the messier it gets. Chains stretch, are filthy and harder on driveline.
