What are your thoughts about doing this on a xb12r?

Seriously, unless you are racing, why would you want to do this?

Only advantage is the ability of gearing changes. Belt is cheaper and less maintenance, and causes no damage when it fails.

the thing is that i have to drive to chattanoga to pick up a belt as its the closest one to me and that they are on back order, a chain and sproket is easier to replace and dont have to worry about running out of them in the future...
