Belt Drive with cush clutch?

I've been considering a belt primary drive for my G15-CS; I have a Newby belt primary on my Enfield and love every part of it...great feel, handles all the power upgrades the stock clutch won't, no leaks, simple, quiet, reliable.

But the Enfield has a cush drive rear hub. The Atlas clutch on the G15 has the cush center, but none of the belt systems I've come across seem to retain that feature. I'm concerned about having a setup without it. Is there any belt drive that uses a cush clutch hub? (And is hopefully narrow enough to use with the G15-CS narrow alloy chaincase without too much trouble...?) Thanks!
 
No help to you on G15 stuff but can you mod a Commando rear with cush to the bike? You know Madass makes a pre MKIII hub and brake complete
that might be the way out.
 
(This thread came up in my "similar threads" today...just to follow up, I put the Newby on my Atlas engine and it works perfectly re: cush drive. Per Bob Newby, while the belts don't stretch a hair, the little rubber neoprene teeth of the belt do flex, obviating the need for a separate cush. Makes perfect sense to me, especially with a belt in hand...they do have give in them.)
 
I use a Manx clutch with single row primary chain on my Seeley 850. I have thought about making a clutch housing out of billet aluminium to take the belt on the outside and the plates on the inside.
