BDL 132 Tooth 8mm Pitch 1-1/2″ Wide Primary Belt
BDL 132T Primary Belt: Race-Proven Strength for Open & Closed Drives
The BDL 132 Tooth Primary Belt is the industry standard for high-performance belt drive maintenance. Designed by Belt Drives Ltd., this 8mm pitch belt is engineered to handle the violent torque pulses of large-displacement Harley-Davidson engines. By utilizing advanced materials and precision tooth profiles, BDL ensures that your primary drive operates with maximum efficiency and minimal stretch.
Kevlar-Reinforced Tensile Cords
The secret to the longevity of the BDL belt lies in its internal construction. Each belt is reinforced with high-strength Kevlar (Aramid) fibers. These cords provide incredible tensile strength, ensuring the belt does not stretch or “walk” across the pulleys under hard acceleration. This stability is critical for preventing tooth jump and ensuring that your engine’s timing and power delivery remain perfectly synchronized.
Precision 8mm Tooth Profile
The 8mm pitch is designed for optimum load distribution across the pulley teeth. The precision-molded teeth are covered with a durable, low-friction fabric that reduces heat buildup and noise. This specific 132-tooth configuration is tailored for mid-length primary drives, offering a perfect fit that maintains the correct tension without putting excessive load on the mainshaft or transmission bearings.
Resistant to Oil, Heat, and Debris
Whether you are running an aggressive open belt drive exposed to the elements or a closed primary environment, this belt is built to survive. The specialized synthetic rubber compound is formulated to resist ozone, heat-aging, and oil contamination, preventing the cracking and “chunking” that often plagues generic industrial belts.
