IMPORTANT UPDATE AND PRODUCT CHANGE
BDL items EVO-900 Series 3" Belt Drive with Outboard
Support, EVO-3000 Outboard Support Retro Fit Kit
and TF-2000 have been changed.
We have eliminated the front pulley and engine shaft
support and front bearing of the outboard support.
The reason for this change was due to the many
aftermarket components that come together on a
special construction motorcycle, we find that a lot
of these components do not allow proper alignment
of the entire motorcycle.
When using an outboard support that was intended to
keep the front engine and rear transmission shafts
from moving excessively, improper alignment will
cause unusual wear and premature failure of the
sealed bearings.
By supporting only the rear shaft, which is all that is
really needed, we have eliminated any potential
problems that mis-alignment may cause. |
