| Personally, I'd switch to a double pulley clutch, placed near where your finger is. That basically will put the idler pulley on the same plate as your clutch pulley. I personally prefer NOT to go smaller than 4 inches on the transmission... too much slippage/breakage for my tastes. If I want a higher ratio, I go with a bigger engine pulley.
One other note... Almost everyone goes with a single long belt... For simplicities sake, that's understandable. There are advantages to multiple short belts ('specially if they are all the same size) to go the length of the frame. Shorte belts tend to stretch less, and slip less, than one LOOOOONG belt.
If you keep your single belt set up, I'd suggest upgrading to a Kevlar belt. | |

| I would REALLY like to go with the double clutch pulleys!!! I jus dont have any of my stuff anymore (welder, Cuttin torch, grinder) to make brackets an such. Ive watched fearlessfronts videos on Youtube an have a basic concept of it jus dont know where to start without my much needed tools. | |
