You're obviously a good guy, Jason, and I appreciate your well considered and candid comments. I don't think anyone here is offended, as I think you summed it up pretty well by implying that a good implementation of either type should work well. They key phrase being "good implementation."I'm in agreement with you. I think I may be who brought up the discussion in a previous thread you are referring to. I view belt-drive turntables like engines with pushrods. The coolest customs bikes are all Hogs, and that means their engines have pushrods. But that doesn't mean that overhead cam technology is inferior. It's just what they're running, that's all.
