Only problem is 2wks turns to 3,4,5,6 and longer if your willing to believe their BS. I ordered saddlebag mounts and after 52 days and many phone calls canceled my order.
same thing for me - had to get a refund after 5-6 weeks of "it will ship next week"

- August 16, 2010, 13:13:38 PMInterested in the feedback on the belts for future use.
Had to make a decision recently ,and went with new chain and sprockets, one tooth larger in front as I didn't have enough feedback on the belts. Am happy with the new sprocket results, lower rpms and less buzz at highway.
Might go with the belt next year ,simply to get rid of that chain cleaning and lubing.

- August 12, 2010, 14:08:13 PMI really am interested in doing the belt conversion - I dont particularly enjoy lubricating the chain and the resulting grime it causes.
Whats up with scootworks these days? I ordered a luggage rack and backrest from them back in early June and after 5 weeks of "oh we have powdercoating issues, but we will send your order in a few days" I had them refund my money.

Been waiting to hear more myself, before deciding on the conversion myself though.I was thinking seriously of doing it to my 800 but it dosen't look like there is enough room for the new wider belt Scootworks sells. Anybody know if the wider belt will work?

- June 17, 2010, 18:08:39 PMI have a belt drive on my 01 800. The previous owner had it done. I like it but since this is my first bike in over 20 years all I can compare it to is my memory of my ninja which was entirely different.

- June 17, 2010, 14:37:50 PMI wonder if it will take that "snap" out of the acceleration or if that's just a bike thing. I mean....it's supposed to be a smoother ride right?

- June 17, 2010, 12:35:08 PM I also talked to Lupee and have ordered the belt drive system. They are two weeks out on delivery of belt systems so when I get it installed I will post how I like it. I gotta believe it is going to be a lot better than the chain cleaning,lubing and adjusting i just went through.

- June 06, 2010, 00:50:41 AMI actually called scootworks and the rep told me that it will fit on a Drifter 800 with no fender mods. Did that on Thursday afternoon. So, unless he doesn't know/is lying to me I don't expect there to be a fitment problem.

- June 05, 2010, 18:31:45 PMOoooh. Well I know of one guy on DRF that did it. I guess he's the only one? Does he still come around? How does he like it?
