![]() Instead of using spacers to offset the hub and extremely re-dishing the wheel to compensate we decided to go with a final chain drive because it would provide the clearance needed and it would better fit the vintage look we were going for with this bike. In the case of this conversion, we had an '05 H-D Softail that we put a 180 tire on an aftermarket wheel and had a bit of a clearance issue when it came to the stock belt rubbing on the tire. We like using belts due to their, low maintenance and cleanliness, but we also like using a chain due to the strength and ease of roadside repairs. The age-old debate of which is better: belt or chain has been professed time and time again with each side thinking its final drive system of choice is the right one no side of the dispute is completely right or wrong, there's benefits and downfalls to each.
