I know this has been mentioned here before but I have a couple of questions I hope you guys can provide guidance on. here is the web site for the belt drive.

http://www.quietpowerdrive.com/prod02.htm

The guy says he makes one for the Thunderbird. I have a Thunderbird Sport I bought a few months ago and I am trying to figure out if this thing will fit my bike.

Are there any differences between the sprockets, chain, and rear wheel of the Basic Thunderbird and the TBS.

Thanks.

Not that would stop you fitting a kit that works for the TBird, no. This kit should be fine.

Bushwacker,
I put one of these from QPD on my Legend. If you want to discuss what is involved let me know. Bottom line is that I would do it again.
