BDL vs ULTIMA

[Jorian_Jones]

Looking at various open primary brands and these two keep popping up. Does anyone run either of these that can provide some insight?

No one makes an open primary for the 05-11 bikes anymore. The only possibility is the BDL that @Mastiff Rider64 is working on with the owner.

The Ultima won't fit your bike

BDL Open Belt Drives

Ok so here is an update on the BDL open belt drives. As a lot of you know a while back I started talking with Scott From BDL about making open belt drives for our dogs again. He wanted me to get 100 ppl to email him saying they wanted a open belt drive, to take to the owners of the company to...

Best place to buy one ??

You just have to shop around and see who has the best prices and turn around time

I have been, but I’m having troubles figuring out which one fits a 2004 107 and please don’t tell me they should say because they don’t or they do and they’re calling it something else and I just don’t understand

04 chopper has a 1 1/2" offset primary

BDL makes a 2” & 3” open for ‘04 chopper also. Pretty expensive compared to the Ultima however. But that being said one is made in China & the other in the USA. So you get what you pay for.

BDL TF-1000 will fit your ‘04 chopper.

FWIW,
My experience over the years, has been that Ultima makes some EXTREMELY GOOD parts, and pieces, especially in the Engine department. Also they handle most of the same brand aftermarket parts, as the other warehouse distributors do. I also find that user error, a lot of the time on any part, becomes the fly in the ointment.

Did BDL send you a 1-7/16" offset plate separately?

Hey Eric, it’s a 1 1/2” offset & pretty sure if you contact Scott @ BDL you’ll find that it’s part of the deal. Not 100% sure if there’s any pricing increase on the unit itself. This open was on the ridgeback when I bought it from Wayne.

The reason Eric asked is because the 04 ridgenack is a 1 7/16 offset primary...04 mastiff and 04 chopper are a 1 1/2 offset primary

Yeah I think we have discussed this before. Not sure why this one is 1 1/2” but it absolutely is. I think I sent you a picture of it at some point in time.
