I have looked into it , but no easy kit to buy and bolt on. A belt would be cleaner and no lubing on long trips I like the idea. Of course if you had a Triumph or a Harley its all done or do-able . There is virtually no aftermarket for Norton unfortunately. Most of the fun of riding is trying new products .

Exactly. No lube no mess. That’s what I like. Although I don’t have hardly any slinging of lube.
I do like the idea of the belt and a belt is less friction.

It would be easier to buy a Harley to get the belt drive ! Or , I saw a BMW F800 with a belt drive too. I didn't know that about the less friction , I thought I read that a chain was most effiecient. A Norton 961 is not the bike for you if you want off the shelf upgrades and products . Triumph . Harley , BMW etc.. the list goes on . If you do off road alot (sand,rocks gravel), a chain and sprockets is less sussceptable to damage from grit and debris .

A belt is definitely less maintenance and less friction/less hp - tq to turn.

No I’m saying a belt is more efficient and takes less power to use. But it’s minimal.

It’s going to be totally custom. So how good are you at fabricating or how thick is your wallet?
