The chrome plated goodies for the belt drive conversion kit
came in, right on schedule.. The good folks at Scootworks
have done exactly what they said they'd do and gone above
and beyond fulfilling their responsibility to stand behind their
product..
My good friends at Grapevine Kawasaki were not able to
give me all the consideration that Scootworks did, but they
did their best for cost breaks on their labor.. The tech that
did the installation of the new pulleys and belt, took his time
and went far beyond just the belt drive installation..
The bottom line is.. the Green Vulcan now sports a shiny
chrome rear pulley (solid steel), rather than the polished
aluminum pulley that originally came with the conversion kit.
That means.. that Green One is all set for another 80,000
miles.. Got just a few routine maintenance items to take care
of and that sucker is ready to hit the road.. Now, if the winter
weather just co-operates a bit, we should be out and about
in a short while..

I bet that steel pulley will do better in the gravel.
As for the weather, it's been nice since it's stopped raining, if a bit
chilly in the mornings.

I expect that it will.. The primary pulley was steel and the rear
pulley was supposedly hardened aluminum.. They designed it
to save weight.. Evidently, I wasn't the only one who had a pro-
blem with that aluminum pulley, as I understand it, they don't
even offer it anymore.. The steel primary pulley was beat up
pretty good, but it wasn't virtually destroyed like that aluminum
one was.. <smile> Maybe I will know how to minimize the dam-
age if I'm caught in that situation again..

You can say that again.. I made that little jaunt out to Grapevine and
damned near froze some of the important parts off.. lol.. Didn't
dress for it, so it was my own damned fault..
See you soon, Wakko.. Regards..
