that motorcycle was never designed to run a chain, ie no cush drive in rear wheel resulting in trashed output shaft bearings, however its your bike and I'm sure you'll do your own thing

Many motorcycles have 'pockets' or 'cups' in the rear hub that hold a rubber type filler. The rear sprocket has 'fingers' that fit into slots in the rubber. The whole assy absorbs power pulses from the engine.

I've been running a chain for nearly 30K and have experienced no such thing.

The problems arise from setting the tension too tight. It will look abnormally loose unladen. I've seen chains and belts on Buells set like a Harley. That will cause damage long term, and handle terribly as well as the suspension travel will be effectively shortened severely.

Buells were originally chain drive machines.

thanks for all the input. ive ran a baker chain conversion on my sporty chop for over 100,000 miles with 0 issues as well. just wasnt sure if the rear hub assembly was different than a sportster. thanks again.

Buells were originally chain drive machines.

While that is correct, I know for sure that the RS/RSS bikes did indeed have cush drive as OE.

FWIW,

I've had a chain on my S1 since 1997 when I popped 2 belts in less than 11,000 miles being a hooligan. this was also when the HD dealer set to the original spec not scary loose.

I run my chain scary loose and no issues for the last 15 years. I've stretched out more throttle cables than chains and output shafts...

Having converted my S1 to chain, with no issues. More than one comment about it being overly loose. Then you explain why it is so.

One does learn how to use a clutch much better.

Roadracing is the same way - lots of guys running it with no issues

Chains are inherently dependable (cush drive or not). Even the new EBR 1190RS uses a chain drive, which I might add is selling for 43K in the carbon pkg...WOW!
