Hey CR,

Ya I have looked at them and they do make them for the Speedmaster =http://www.freespirits.it/en/component/virtuemart/transmission/triumph-america-belt-drive-conversion-heavy-duty-kitdet.html?Itemid=0

Once you get them set up they are good to go with very minimal MTC. To me though they are not as efficient as a chain and they are not easily changed out like a chain drive. They are quiet and you don't have to worry about lubrication like with the chain drive. There are definitely pros to these belt drives but for the cost I am fine putting that money elsewhere for the time being anyways.

It was nice talking with you CR take care down there in Brazil,

GH
