I'd rather use a Harley belt primary drive. It's an off the shelf set up
that would require minimal machining to adapt to the purpose. Off the top
of my head, I'd say the reduction is better than 2 to 1 and replacement
belts can be purchased in any city in North America if you didn't want to
bother with mail order.

I had thought the same thing before, also.

I've never priced that type of thing, before. Are prices reasonable?
Probably not, I'm thinking.

Define reasonable. No not cheap new but you can find complete belt
primary drives used on eBay when the hotrodders are swamping them out
for the 3.5 and 4" belts for the custom engines.

The 3.5 and 4" belt setups are running about $1500 and probably not
worth it for what we're talking about. These belts are for engines that
run over 100 BHP peak and the riders of these bikes can be very abusive
when doing burnouts and drag racing.
