I have one on my Interceptor. It's the second best mod I've made. Highly recommended, for all the reasons given.

I have the same belt kit on my Continental GT, it’s fantastically smooth. Highly recommended!

This is a great kit! We installed one on NJ Mike’s bike, and it has worked out great.
Did the belt drive conversion kit yesterday. Basically, it went better than any new aftermarket kit had any right to go!

The belt drive is a really sublime mod to your bike. You'll find it much smoother with almost zero driveline lash on/off throttle, it's really a much smoother ride, and I seem to get slightly better gas mileage too. An extra added bonus, no more chain lube to decorate my rear wheel and the back of my suit!
I'd like to do a brief follow up from a long day in the saddle yesterday.
The belt drive is a really nice upgrade from a chain.
The first thing I noticed was how much smoother it is in the on/off throttle moments, it's not as harsh in transition from being fully loaded to no load. Consequently, it has less effect on the frame attitude when entering corners.
Also, it seems I'm getting better gas mileage with it too. Although the countershaft sprocket is very heavy, the rear sprocket and belt is a lot less to move than the chain. With the kind of riding I did yesterday, I'd usually get 60-62 mpg. Yesterday I got 67.5 mpg. Could be the slightly higher gearing, or maybe a belt is just a more efficient way to transfer power from the motor to the wheel. Whatever it is, I'll take it.
Best part, when I got home I didn't have to lube the chain, and I'll never have to clean one again, ever.

Everything well packed as you always do with anything you ship. Excellent!

The belt drive kit arrived last week, and now it's installed. Everything works very well! Looking forward to many years of maintenance free operation.
The quality of the parts is outstanding, thanks Robert!! The instructions were fine, but the belt tensioning process, both cold and hot, was a bit fidgety with the 10lb. tool, but I made it through.
I have to congratulate this forum community for creating a culture that allowed someone like Robert to come forward to take the time and effort to design, fabricate, and make available an enhancement for our machines. Truly outstanding!

Interesting how an independent machinist can make a major improvement to a motorcycle designed by dozens and built in a factory staffed by hundreds.
Superb work!

Easily the best mod I made on my GT

I have this conversion on my super meteor,although I had to wait a while for it to arrive here in Cyprus it was well worth the wait, a really well made and engineered kit, very pleased with the transformation it makes to the riding experience of the super meteor

I have one on my RE SM 650 and I love it. Sure its a bit pricey but totally worth it imo. Fitted myself at home in half a lazy Saturday. Getting the tension right takes a bit of a faffing around though. Smooth and quiet with no more oily mess.

I did mine myself wasnt hard at all and find the drive alot more direct

I'm loving the belt drive on my super meteor, so much smoother and less revs at higher speed due to higher gearing. Seems to get better MPG as well, average around 70-75 mpg with mostly two up riding

Fitted belt drive last weekend! Done 100ish miles on it and its fantastic. So smooth now. Gearchanges up and down like knife through butter. No hunting or snatching from the chain drive and no messy oil everywhere. Expensive but worth it!
