Yes, I searched. I'll how well when LAB chimes in. :mrgreen:

I got the RGM and it was ok.

Does anyone know if Mick's belt drives are purchased from someone else? Does anyone have one and can you comment/post pictures?
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

I have one for 7 years.... Only problem was, when I had to dismantle the bike, the front pulley seemed more used than the rest of the kit...so I changed it together with the belt and sheared the key when put it back together... Not tighten enough me thinks!
Have to air cooled ( I have cut off on the primary case)

Any idea if it look like one of the other belt kits? Or did it look unique?

Mmm... Apart ones for HD I never saw another one for Norton! Looks like any belt but I think norvil must be having the kit made for them ... The only one IMHO where you have choice of changing ratio with different pulleys and belt sizes. Which other model do you have in mind?

Didn't Tony Hayward in the UK make/supply some of the first belt drives?
