For what I am planning they are probably my best choice, trailer, ALCAN and up to the circle, lots of gravel, pulling a small trailer. I have studied Zerks trip and tribulations, I need to prepare the bike and the belt is a liability. If I wasent making this trip or pulling 300 lbs behind me I would probably just keep the belt. Besides, when they do wear out they can be changed in ten minutes.
Dave I have the socket and locking tool if you need them.
