New primary options from BDL
BELT Drives Limited (BDL) has two new primary drive
options available. The first of these is the company’s

in either black or chrome, the Softail and Bagger
compatible 2in drive comes complete with four
interchangeable domes.

lid in black or polished, or the unique through- cut
fluted version without pulling everything apart and
purchasing a separate cover with different looks. The
EV-700 package features all billet construction with
