So I go to remove my wheel from my Buell, and I'm cranking down on the axle to get it loose. Nothing is working. I have a 2 foot cheater bar on the son-of-a-bitch, and it's not moving. Finally, a light bulb went off in my head. The damn threads are reversed. . . So much for righty-tighty-lefty-loosy. . . But, finally got the wheel off, so I can get the tire changed. I also replaced the belt, which was pretty difficult also. The belt tensioner was a bitch.

Chain conversion.

I really dislike belt driven, but it surely beats shaft.

Meh. The belt really doesn't bother me. Its quiet, smooth, and I don't have to get chain lube everywhere.

I ended up doing a chain conversion on my buell i used to have. Not much difference to be honest with you. Only reason i went that route was because the belt i had was really old and would skip on the front "sprocket" Not a very neat thing to happen when you're dicking around doing wheelies lol
