530 DID x ring, never had any problems with it. The belts I used had to be only 1 inch, as I was using a 200mm rear tyre, which didn't give much room for a belt. A few years ago, I modded the swing arm to give more ground clearance, and while it was out of the bike, took careful measurements and we made a replica in alloy. Ended up being half the weight of the original steel arm. One day will get round to having it hard anodised and get it fitted.. part of a long term aim to get its weight down below 500 lbs.. still heavy but light for a Evo softail, which weigh approx 650 lbs as standard.I have read that they have stronger belts now , but I suppose it's not worth taking the chance again. Are you running a #530 Xring chain or something bigger ?
