Man, i've been tempted to pull the belt covers off my bike since the day I got it - what's the real danger besides exposure to the elements causing the belts to degrade more quickly, if that's even a thing?
would it be a stone or something getting in there? are there bearings that would wear more quickly?

Rusty bearings collapsing or stones pinching the belts. Rare but serious. If you live where there is lots of rain and crap on the roads then I would leave them covered.

Looks great. Normally prefer low pipies but that works. I note the backing for the belt covers are also removed. If something went in it has more chance of getting out again which is good.
Road builders here leave the top layer of gravel for vehicles to press in. Its outrageous road users do the last bit of work pressing in the top layer at the expense of safety.

Yeah, don't do it there. Oh, and those are low pipes with a slight mod. |

Some of us like the high pipes! seriously though - I'm in New Jersey and we're not exactly known for our great weather or superior road conditions - I'd ben interested to know where your buddy lives! the open belts still seems like a roll of the dice to me  |
