primary belt drive for 2016 Wide Glide

Can anyone give me some advice on an exposed primary belt drive for a 2016 Dyna Wide Glide?

If you do some google searching you'll find one brand in particular gets a lot of complaints about being low quality and having problems. That's why i went with BDL. There's an ebay seller in the states that looked after me really well with an off ebay deal at a very good price, i'm not positive but i think i ended up getting the 2" drive for my Rocker around $1200US from memory.
I'm sorry but i can't remember his user name and searching emails would take quite a while.
Had the BDL for a year or more now and i'm very happy with it. Beautiful sound, a whirring like a supercharger i guess, looks good as well as being a point of difference.
I had to modify my kick stand by putting another rubber on it a little further out as it would disappear up under the cover. The belt wears on the rubber and it needs replacing every 12 months, even at Harley prices it's still $3.
I wouldn't bother explaining myself to others, but each to his own.

Thanks mate. I'll sus ebay, because the Wide Glide is a big bike, I'll look at a 3" belt.

Couldn't find a 3" BDL for the Rocker at the time or i would have got one. It looks pretty good with the smaller one anyway.
You can see the kickstand mod i was talking about here. With a 3" your mod may have to be more drastic.

Yeah, it's towards the back of the primary drive case.

I do not think it works at all.... They suit the old skool look or chopper styles, but by their own on a stock bike its a total loss.

Luckily it doesn't matter what you think.
