Spyder Belt

[Bryk]

When/If they put a bigger engine in these I think the clear choice should be to go to shaft. With the risk of getting a rock in the belt and recking it I see it as a no brainer.

A lot of people such as myself get the Spyder because we don't want to worry about gravel. However the Spyder has the belt issue with gravel, so bigger engine, shaft drive, happy gravel Spyder riders.

Do people have issues with rocks with the belt guard addon? I of course plan on getting that as soon as possible, however I'm guessing it won't protect it 100% from a rock getting in there, just wondering if it has happened to anyone that had the extra guard on.

Sticking shaft drive on the bike will widen it up out back; it might steal luggage space...

I think it could be done, bigger engine, shaft, bigger gas tank. It will be bigger and weigh more. I'm sure the luggage capacity could be increased as well. Improving the handling was obviously the first step in this direction. From here, the sky is the limit.
