You mean it doesn't sound like a washing machine like every other open belt I've seen -- that would be a huge improvement.
Years ago one of my riders put and open belt primary on his bike -- sounded so much like a washing machine when he stalled it we'd toss quarters to so he could start the rinse cycle. He was not amused! But we were!

The belt doesn't whine. Some guys like that sound. That sound doesn't bother me, but I can live without it. The sound that does bother me with most op's is the jingle when you have the clutch pulled in. A buddy of mine has a fatboy with a Primo on it. When we are sitting at a red light, it sounds like his motor is falling apart. The Baker doesn't do any of that.

Looks great! Not a fan of the "wide" belt OPs... They look "bulky" and remind me of a treadmill.

Nice work Lorenzo.
And nice touch Doug.
But that's not your Mastiff is it ?
I like these. I hate the treadmill look, but these are narrow enough to avoid it.
Does it have enough ground clearance to keep it off the asphalt when you turn ? My V&H Big Radius is the first thing to hit on the right. Curious if this adds a similar obstacle on the left.

My mastiff has a 4" Karata, treadmill or not, its the best OP for these bikes..

On my bike, I think the frame would scrape before the rear pulley on the baker would. I've never scraped anything on either side of my bike, and there's only about 1/4" on the outside edges of my rear tire that has never touched pavement.Nice work Lorenzo.
