Anaheim, California based manufacturer BDL continues to be the market leader where belt drive options are concerned – their ‘EVB’ closed primary belt drive series has been setting standards for years and remains one of the company’s most popular units.

| Belt Drives limited ‘EVB’ drive |
A true “bolt-on” favorite with builders around the world, the fully inclusive kits include clutch baskets that feature 12 cylindrical, replaceable clutch dogs which allow plates to maintain constant contact, exclusive Kevlar clutch plates to provide maximum grip and smooth operation and a rugged, fully polished pressure plate with “9” shoulder bolts and springs that can be easily changed to adjust clutch pressure to the rider’s liking and a totally sealed inner primary bearing.

| ‘EVB’ 2SL enclosed belt drive conversion |
Currently available for most year and model H-Ds with crossover to a wide variety of custom applications, the 1970-1983 rear chain 4-speed Shovelhead model is seen here.
For those thinking about replacing an early engine with a Twin Cam, but who want to retain the already installed BDL belt drive, the conversion is made possible with the use of this new front pulley insert, which bolts easily into the earlier style front pulleys just as the original insert did.

| Twin Cam engine sprocket conversion |
The difference is the new insert (for 0-2” drives), broached to fit the TC engine sprocket shaft, which means that instead of 10 splines you have 24. Once in place, the insert allows builders to install the newer style Twin Cam engine and still run their current belt drive set-up.
