Sure there are, but there's only a couple that actually have them in stock. Best of luck. |

Is there a huge benefit on switching to chain instead of belt? Or is just a preference? |

definatly no benefit on a bike that was designed to run a belt, the buell rear wheel has no cush drive ie rubber blocks that allow for the harshness and jerk of a chain |

This is for a sportster based dragbike that has been using chain drive successfully for 12 years with no issues..switching from an XB rear wheel to the PM chicane..thanks |

and I guess all the roadrace teams that run chain drive are gaining no benefit from it.. |

For hard use a chain is preferred. There's also a benefit of easy and inexpensive gearing changes. I have broken a belt. I have not broken a chain. That's enough reason for me. |

racers need chains people with power need chains wont break easily and makes for quick gearing changes to compensate for different tracks/conditions yeah no cush drive, but it doesnt matter when youre racing. |

Exactly. Plus, drag bikes sometimes have lengthened swing arms, so the stock belt isn't going to fit. So, road bike, no real advantage over the belt, race bike, yes. |
