| Railer   Joined: Apr 2011 From: Portland I Ride: Yamaha Warrior | I have lead a sheltered life... Never in a million years would I have considered combining a belt drive rear pulley with a disc-fucking brake. The stupid shit cruiser riders do makes me want to go back to sportbikes as a full-blown squid. ETA for clarity: Not mine, aftermarket, already installed on bike someone bought used, caliper/fluid issue, near-death experience. My gob officially smacked upon learning of this Darwin Drive system. ETA: I'm currently prototyping a front disc brake automatic oiling system to keep the rotors shiny and rust-free. Any cruiser riders want to beta test? Pulley rotor  Last edited by Tromatic; 08-08-2012 at 05:19 PM.. |

| Railer Joined: Apr 2011 From: Portland I Ride: Yamaha Warrior | The issue seems to have been a caliper problem, but still. What is the weakest link in a belt-driven motorcycle's power train? The belt? Correct, gold star! What is a belt's number-one enemy? Heat, you say? Fuckin' A! Let's attach the fuckin' pulley to a device that turns mechanical energy into heat! Brilliant! Oh, and the cleaning staff have asked again that you not leave crack pipes on your desk. Last edited by Tromatic; 08-08-2012 at 03:46 PM.. |

"I have an idea, let's over engineer the piss out of something, completely unnecessarily mind you, hope that it works, and label it innovative!" |

Since this is now about bashing, this evening, like every evening, the majority of obnoxious maximum-noise taint-lickers have all been on HD's. You have said in the past you are not an obnoxious maximum-noise taint-licker. Can you explain why the majority of them are? I'm not talking just about the overall exhaust volume level, but the need for these tards to make as much noise as physically possible. The South Park video stands as the best answer so far.

| Retired  Joined: Jul 2007 From: Washington DC I Ride: Speed Triple | I suppose you guys would laugh at the braking systems I invented. I call one the "chain caliper". I'm also working on a caliper you mount on your crankshaft. Problem I'm having is keeping the oil off the brake pads. Any ideas? |
