So, I can't leave a nice bike alone. I would love to put a fat 200 series reat tire on my M2. I see baker has a kit to do this, basically some spacers, sprokets and a chain. But, I am thinking that the output shaft is probably designed for a belt, not a chain. Impact loading?

So, my question is if people have done this conversion, and seen any problems?

Thanks
Chris

Well, seeing how the old chain drive parts basically bolt-on...it can't be much different, if at all.

The transmission was originally designed for a chain drive. Going from a belt to a chain won't hurt it.
