Yes, open primary belt drive.
Karata is pretty much a one man show, nothing gets done there without Jimmy. He is very old and not in the best of health, he will only do what he feels like doing and building belt drives for BD's is not on his to do list.

Which one is which? I personally think that linda goes with the bobber or old school chipper style bike.. Not a fan on the K9, ridgeback, chopper, mastiff.. Maybe the mutt is just about the only bike I wpuld have that on.. Just a way to ruin a sleek clean lined bike.. Personal opinion of coarse
So your mounting this on the downtube?
Interesting.

The wider belt is the Karata. Personal opinion, open primaries look awesome on any style, chopper or pro street..

Yes sir..., I never did like the oil tank feedline lower then the oil pump..., the oil pump shouldn't have to suck oil into it it should be gravity fed into it, although I'm going to have to put it in line ball valve on it because it's going to act just like a water tower all that pressure be pushing on that line and it'll fill my lower cases with oil..., that other set up with an under the frame I just didn't like that idea whatsoever I didn't want to starve my motor for any oil.
I'm going to drill out and retap the feed line in the oil pump cap so there will actually be a full 3/8 line of oil going into that pump you looked at fittings before it might be a 3/8 line but it tapers down real little for that little bitty 1/8" inch pipe thread.., so what do you think maybe 3/16 quarter inch hole on that fitting that ain't shit for oil delivery

My 4" I think it's too wide for the pro street ?
May order 2" pulleys and belt when I decide to get the pitbull rolling again. I am in no hurry

That looks awesome, wouldn't your peg hit the ground before your primary?

It does, I was saying that it looks like a damn treadmill on the pit bull because the bike is short. It has also ate a few pairs of my jeans while riding
I talked with this guy, his shop is right around the corner from Karata. He has everything but the motor plates and clutch. He says he has a bunch of stock but it just doesn't sell without the most important piece..
Yep pretty fucking useless without the Damn plate.I talked with this guy, his shop is right around the corner from Karata. He has everything but the motor plates and clutch. He says he has a bunch of stock but it just doesn't sell without the most important piece..

I'd say..hopefully I will get my hands on one someday, have a 3D scanner for work that I could scan the motor plate with to create a Cad model for the CNC.
Maybe someone on here might be doing some rebuilding this winter and can part with their plate for a few weeks.

Maybe, I'll just keep this thread alive for a while see if it gets any response..
Your asking this Again?
I don't like the looks of the baker personally neither does Doug. I'd only run a Karata I don't want a big ass bearing support plate just covering it up if rather run the wet clutch over the baker.
If I was going to run it Karata and no bearing support ... Longevity not the best route but I don't care ill just rebuild the transmission every 20k miles no biggie

Correct...puts more strain on your main bearings so probably need to replace more often maybe 20-30k miles. Not really hard to do. Pressing out the main bearing is quite simple can be done without removing trans
