How To: Dyna Chain Conversion (Part 1 of 2 Removal)

[@allanatienza7867]

Well done!!!!! you guys make it looks easy with the proper tools. I have been searching around and usually what I find is that the lighting is usually horrible. Very informative and keep it going guys.

Part 2 of this video will be dropping at 2 e.t. Today

[@dynademos]

But thankyou for the support!

@@dynademos Can't wait to see it. I need to do mine next week.

[@dynademos]

Allan Atienza checkout the vid should make it easy

[@UnrulyRider]

Absolutely insane that your mainshaft nut came off that easy... I tried three different impacts, one air and two electric and mine wouldn't budge. We had to use a four foot long jack handle over my 3/4" breaker bar and I still needed a second person to get it broke free. The second person being my friend that is a Harley tech, and he said he had never seen one on there so tight - so no telling?! I have heard other people having issues as well... but y'alls and Tripp's videos made it look like you encountered no problems. About to watch the second video now - congrats on the chain conversion, you are gonna really like it!

[@dynademos]

relykz yeah I was nervous before hand because of the horror stories lol

[@Christofuzz-hc9xl]

Great job, awesome video,im doing a front to mids swap on a wide glide,have to change out innr primary, so this is a big help

[@timbarnett3898]

Your auto- chain tensioner reminds me that I had old adjustable style an upgraded to your Auto-adjust. I'm having issue with primary banging an study brings me back to Auto-adjustable. So, I'm going back to original an checking on banging! If you have issues look into that upgrade on primary chain shoe!

[@dynademos]

For sure thanks for the info ✊🏽

[@benjaminbelenky2486]

Hey man awesome content, I’m wondering how those disks behind the compensator are supposed to be oriented, I know they act as a spring to handle more power but would they all face the same direction? Pretty boy Dirk Ray says what up too

[@straightedgecutz8500]

dope video ill proably end up keeping my belt dont plan on doing wheelies and dont want to do more maintenance

Great video as always guys......I didnt use that jims belt holder tool on mine......

[@dynademos]

Tripp_HPjunkie yeah prob coulda got it off but everyone made it seem difficult till we did it lol

[@TrippHPjunkie]

@@dynademos I am impressed with the power of that Harbor Freight impact....my Milwaukee looked very similar to brake torque on the mainshaft nut

[@dynademos]

Tripp_HPjunkie the impact I’m not sure rod bought it. The pulley lock was like 100 if I remember

Now you have had time with this mod added to your bike... What is the advantage of a chain over a belt? I've been curious about doing such a mod on my 2007 Lowrider, but wonder about chain lube thrown on my bike frame, added chain maintenance, and chain noise. The only advantages I can see with it, is to be able to replace it without pulling the primary case and/or possibly spacing it outward to mount a fatter tire. I'm not sure of the strength difference between a belt or chain, and I do love the belt, but always afraid of breakage out on the road.

[@dynademos]

Cast Away I’ve put atleast 5k miles on my chain haven’t had to adjust it once. As far as regular maintenance I do lube it regularly or if I get caught In the rain. Yes it is messier than a belt but it’s the price to pay. Pros of a chain they can handle higher horse power setups, you lose less torque to the wheel cause by your belt stretching so it feels like an improved throttle response, and yes a chain itself is easier to replace if u r only doing the chain

[@MegaSoccerkid17]

good stuff. may have to battle this myself. doesn't seem all that difficult.

Very good video.. Detailed.. That a shinko 777?? If so how are they?

Chris Yazzie part 2 dropping tomorrow 🤘🏽 yes it is and just riding it’s great super sticky I use to slide with the stock tires. If u are doing wheelies and burnouts they will not last long though but hey they’re super cheap 👍🏽

Thanks... Keep up the videos...

What benefits do you have with a chain drive over the belt?

[@JIMBOBALOU]

Just so you all know, the clutch basket nut is always reverse thread on all model years.

[@dynademos]

LatterDayBiker cool I’ll look that up for sure but just refer to the manual and u will never be wrong 👌🏽

[@MEGLADAD]

What benefits do you have using a chain drive over the belt?

[@dynademos]

Dane Yourell chains last longer but require more maintenance imo such as lubrication. Chains can easily provide either more or less torque by changing your sprocket setup to what u like such as if u like to wheelie or just cruise at highspeed. Downside chains r expensive

[@MEGLADAD]

@@dynademos I can understand the whole sprocket size thing but I think I'll be leaving the chain to dirt bikes cause my FXDLS has plenty of power and torque for just about anything..to each their own I suppose..thanks for the reply guys👍

[@dynademos]

Dane Yourell 🤘🏽exactly

[@thakery5720]

@Al Gottsch I got over 120bhp and torque and my belt is holding up fine....... And you have to replace sprockets after every second chain as a worn sprocket shortens chain life !

[@JIMBOBALOU]

Besides, if your belt breaks you have to do nearly this exact process to put a new belt on. If you own a big twin the first time your belt breaks I'd recommend converting to chain because chances are your belt will break again. And it'd be easier to replace a chain if somehow it breaks.

[@brontarlabta.k.a.briantayl3484]

What conversion kit did you use? My 2002 RK has just had its second broken belt, but I do ride a lot of unsealed roads. I’m converting it, but trying to find a good kit or quality products.

[@dynademos]

Tmf cycles

[@XR644DCMP]

What would be the benefit of this conversion

[@dynademos]

XR644DCMP chains are easier to replace than a broken belt. Chains handle higher tq builds. Look better to some people. Cons upkeep. Chain lube on your bike. Does that help?

[@TheWolfsnack]

The first thing I thought of was the ability to change sprocket sizes and drop the RPMs at higher speeds.

[@roldanmike94]

What and where did you get that impact wrench

[@dynademos]

Harbor freight

[@FaberV8]

Those Harley belts are really expensive here in Brazil. It hurts to see them cutting the belt that way. :'(

[@dynademos]

Sorry 😬

[@thanosetsitty1896]

I wonder how much Harley would charge you for labor on this?

[@dynademos]

Thanos Etsitty 1000 dollars for sure

[@09sethman]

why would anyone want to switch to a chain??? i have been running the same drive belt on my 08 Dyna for the past 5 years ,,with no chain chatter/ no messy spray lube/and no constant re adjusting the back wheel to fix any looseness, due to chain stretch,,and no drive sprockets to wear out or break teeth on..

RUMPLE FORESKIN looks better

[@09sethman]

@@dynademos not for me

[@timbarnett3898]

The primary auto adjust pad was for average riders but auto has problems! But for you two a manual adjustable that you can adjust to nat's ass! Which would be better for you two! They changed to Auto- adjust in 04'! Tim

Tim Barnett if I start having issues I’ll switch👍🏽
