Good

it is easy to install.
it works wonderful
it lasts forever
it is everything you'd ever want in a primary and clutch setup

Bad

it ain't cheap....

I have sold, and or installed approximately 15 to 20 Bob Newby belt drives....

.... none of them has ever had any problems.

Tony, for replacement clutch plates, does it use factory Triumph style plates? Any problems with the clutches sticking on the belt drive units?

Those plates are the same as most aftermarket race clutches use,and they are cheap as hell.

I get replacement plates from a local Speedway Racing bike parts house here, and you can even get different racing stickey compounds for each plate. Some people run a combo of different plates and springs depending on track conditions.

The plates you get with the kit work fine on most street applications, just make sure you put the pink plate on the outside.

Is venting of the primary a must when running this set up?

It is a good idea to vent the primary not necessarily for the clutch, mainly for alternator cooling.

I never wipe them with anything....

the only pain in the ass about the BNR system is spacing the alternator out correctly.

I get more damn calls and questions about the stud washer spacing than anything else.
