Why take a good handling bike and make it handle like a chopper? If you want a drag bike there are better choices.   M1combat Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 07:57 pm:        That's what I was thinking Carver...   420at145mph Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 08:00 pm:        hill climber?   Wyckedflesh Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 08:24 pm:        Uhm...cause its not that difficult to change the swingarm out if you have a chain conversion or the proper belt for both lengths...?   03bolt Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 08:57 pm:        I want one!!! for the drag strip of course.   Spike Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 09:01 pm:        It looks like it still has the stock rear pulley on it. Where do you find different sized belts that fit the stock XB12 pulley? Not to mention, if you change the length of the swingarm you'll need to change the position of the idler pulley to maintain proper belt tension.   Starter Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 09:23 pm:        Now your starting to get close to where I'm doing a tonne of reseearch at the moment. There has to be an alternative supplier of belts rather then the dealership since they don't want to carry spares. BTW that swingarm looks crap.   Curve__carver Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 11:15 pm:        If you build a XB hill Climber...I'll cover a Goldwing in Zebra Fur   Misato Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 11:32 pm:        sweet.. they said they are doing a chain conversion to it. dont know why they haven't done anything to it in 6 months   Bud Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2004 - 12:33 am:        why would you do that to an XB? Why take a good handling bike and make it handle like a chopper? looking for some options for drag racing, it's got to have a chain anyway for gearing and lower friction in the end drive
