Anyone put one of these on a tuber? Do they make affordable ones?

I've seen one on an XB, but never a tuber. Would be interesting. I've thought about it too. It seems a belt drive primary would be a lot lighter than a chain, and probably good for a few ponies out the rear wheel.

They are out there. One on my 100" S&S motor. Not sure about "affordable.

A brief search found a 2" and 3" for $2,000 and $3,000. Not really worth it considering I could get another tuber for the cost of a 3" belt driven open primary on one. Just figured I'd throw it out there and see what you all had found.

the only way to make a true belt primary is to use aftermarket cases

Sounds like a lot of work.
I would rather just ride the damn thing.

I'd like to find one that runs in the closed primary but nobody makes one. The reduction in all that weight would be great. Had one in of my Iron Heads but that was decades ago
