Pete, I guess for you the tank is half empty. 1100 miles in a month? I have 1100 miles between two bikes in two months and I thought I was doing good. I haven't knocked anything off yet either.......
No not half empty. The beauty of form should always be in function. This layed back bike, as pretty as it really is, has function following form. I wish no harm to bike or owner. I would never do this type of install myself but then I think 96 spoked radial laced wheels are a sad joke.
Look at the protective plastic bit Buell uses to protect the belt drive from eating small stones. These can raise havoc with belts and plastic pullies. At times stones can get lodge in the pully and damage the belt long term as it goes round and round. By laying the engine down, the belt has been placed in harm's way also.
There are more examples of belt protection but this is all I found on a quick search.
